If it's not too difficult, it would be great to have him completed. I'd be happy to get my artist to complete all necessary battle frames and release them for free. Let me know what you decide and I'll give my guy the go-ahead if needed; he's typically able to get a job of this size done in around 1-2 weeks.
rubixcuber wrote:And even though this means it would be easy to add as many more slots as we wanted, we still have the 32 sprite limitation which basically means there's not really room for showing more characters waiting.
That's a shame, but it's not the end of the world. I might even edit the HQ graphics to have a non-accessible room visible and that could explain away where the new characters are chilling out or something. I'm sure there's lots of creative ways around this.
Is the 32 sprite limit something that could feasibly be expanded? Or would that be a little too out-of-scope for the Editor?

After Supreme Court's decision to sack Anurag Thakur from BCCI's President post, latest development from Hyderabad shocked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The Hyderabad Cricket Association on 8th January expressed inability to organize a Test match against Bangladesh, which is scheduled to start on February 8 to 12 at the Uppal ground.
Hyderabad Cricket Association in their report to BCCI cited lack of funds as a reason for withdrawing from scheduled Test match.
While Hyderabad is not the only association facing problems due to lack of funds, as TNCA (Tamil Nadu Cricket Association) has also refused to host two under-19 Test matches between India and England at Chennai that was scheduled from February 13 to 16 and from February 21 to 24. The BCCI had scheduled five ODI matches against England under-19 in Mumbai and two four-day games in Chennai.
The official letter from TNCA cited "At the outset we thank you for allotting the India - England Under 19 matches at Chennai between 13th and 16th February and 21st to 24th February 2017. However, we regret to inform you that we are unable to host the matches at Chennai due to various domestic programs scheduled during the period."

Book Review: Steelheart (YA)
Steelheart (Reckoners #1) by Brandon Sanderson
Goodreads Summary:
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills.
Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.
And David wants in. He wants Steelheart — the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning — and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.
He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.
My Review:
I enjoyed this book, but I didn't NEED to be reading it, ya know? David witnessed his father's murder when he was 8 years old. He was killed by Steelheart, one of the world's Epics, humans who gained super powers when Calamity, a comet like-burst, occurred in the sky. David has dedicated the last 10 years to studying Epics. He's determined to join the Reckoners, the only group fighting these evil, controlling monsters. He wants revenge on Steelheart.
Pretty heavy stuff, right? Surprisingly, I felt little emotion while reading this book. Maybe it was just me. I'm not really sure. I liked David's character well enough, and once he joins the Reckoners, I enjoyed several of those characters as well, but I just didn't feel overly attached to anyone. I wanted more emotional displays by the characters or emotional connection between them at least. I think I wanted more of a "girl" story. I've mentioned before that male main characters don't work as well for me, and I think it is this lack of emotion that causes that.
The world building is awesome, and because it's based on the real world, it was pretty easy to follow. Not the high fantasy I was fearing going into a Brandon Sanderson book. And the plot was pretty steady. It reminded me of a super hero movie - which I should have loved because I love Marvel movies. But the action was a little hard to follow in print sometimes. Maybe audio would have been better? I'm not sure.
Sorry this review isn't very decisive. It's probably more of a "it's not you, it's me" kind of thing with this book, but I just didn't love. I'm undecided about the sequels. The ending was pretty amazing!
My Rating: 3 Stars
Understand my ratings.
I read this book as part of my new author challenge. The verdict is still out. I didn't love Brandon Sanderson's writing, but I didn't hate it. I feel like I need to read at least one more book before I decide. Maybe it'll be Firefight. We'll see.

Okay, first off I don't hate you for not loving this. I understand. If you want to try more Sanderson I won't go to Firefight. That series is very different for him. It's his only YA and the voice is very different. I love David but I can understand why you might not. If you want to read something else from him then try Mistborn, it has a female main character and is much more "Sandersonian" in it's tone. If you don't like that then we might have to reconsider my not hating you feelings (kidding).ReplyDelete
Cassi @ My Thoughts LiterallyReplies
Haha. Ok, I'll try Mistborn next. And maybe I'll do audio. Sometimes that works better for me with world building.Delete
I started this on audio and couldn't get into it - but I have a knee-jerk reaction to kids being killed off just to move the plot forward, and the beginning was just much too violent for me. I really enjoyed The Rithmatist by Sanderson, though.ReplyDeleteReplies
I didn't mind the beginning. I'll consider The Rithmatist though as my next read by Sanderson. Thanks.Delete
I gave my copy to a librarian friend, so I never got to read it. It sounds like I didn't miss too much...ReplyDelete

Swimming with mantra rays and reef sharks!!
Coral Bay Travel Blog› entry 18 of 26 › view all entries
The last couple years I've been traveling and having my birthday in warm places. This year I'm Australia. My parents still wanna give me a birthday present and they manage to come up with some awesome things. While living in the Caribbean they gave me a Whale Watch Trip. In Ghana they sent me to Mole Park to see the elephants and now in Australia they gave me a day trip in Coral Bay to go to the Ningaloo Reef.
My friends Jess and Adam, and me, took a few days off from work. We drove from Carnarvon naar Coral Bay on Thursday. All campsites were fully booked and the hostel was really expensive so we decided to camp illegal behind the sand dunes behind the local air strip. On Thursday we just hangout on the beach and I made a long beach walk.
On Friday we booked our trip with Ningaloo Reef Tours. A full day trip on a boat. Jess and Adam went diving, I went snorkeling. I have a hole in my eardrum, so I can't dive. Bad luck! But I had nothing to complain. I had a great day. Starting with some snorkeling on the reef. The second time we went looking for mantra rays and we saw a huge one. We were allowed to snorkel above them and I was so excited, because it was a huge mantra ray and they are so beautiful!!
The third part was swimming with reef sharks.
I can only thank my parents for giving me this as a birthday present, because I would have never done it if I had to pay it my self. I was on a budget, so I didn't had the money for it. Thanks mom and dad!!!
Excited and tired we had dinner, posted some pics on my computer and went back to our camp behind the air strip. All salty and feeling dirty. We had some beers and after that is was time to sleep. It was an amazing day!
We still had Saturday left for some fun. We went off road in the dunes with my car for some action. We got stuck a couple of times, but managed to get out of the soft sand with some help from experienced off road drivers. I never did off road driving in the dunes before and really enjoyed it. The tric is to go as fast as you can, and you won't get stuck. So I was driving as a maniac and my friends thought they were going to die ...
On Sunday it was time to leave... Work was calling us again...

A newer version of the Vista SP1 is rumored to be available soon, but if you've installed the original SP1 Beta release, it sounds like you'll first have to uninstall it (or maybe you just don't want SP1 installed anymore). In the past, service packs weren't always uninstallable, but thankfully that's not the case with this one. As it turns out, uninstalling a service pack takes at least as long as installing it, so follow these steps, and get yourself a drink for the wait. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 63: Uninstall Vista SP1 Beta"
ITsVISTA Tip 62: Save power in Vista, save the world
As I write this, it's Blog Action Day, when bloggers around the web unite to put a single important issue on everyone's mind. This year it is the environment. How does Vista relate to the environment? It uses resources, and by reducing the resources it uses, you can help reduce it's effect on the environment. So here's a tip on how to reduce Vista's thirst for power. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 62: Save power in Vista, save the world"
ITsVISTA Tip 61: Eliminate 'blocked startup program' notifications
If you're like me, you may block some of the programs that normally want to run at startup so they don't eat all your RAM and processor. After doing this, you may consistently get notifications reminding you that a program is being blocked. Here's why you might be getting them, and how to make them stop. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 61: Eliminate 'blocked startup program' notifications"
ITsVISTA Tip 60: Hide a persistant on-screen keyboard in Vista
I had a question in chat from a user that had the On-Screen Keyboard appearing on his screen at startup. How do I get rid of it? He tried Msconfig to see if there was an entry for it, but with no luck. After seeing there were no options of that sort in the On-Screen Keyboard options, I poked around a little and found the answer, which fixed his woes. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 60: Hide a persistant on-screen keyboard in Vista"
ITsVISTA Tip 59: Hide the Vista Updates you don't want to see
When you use Windows Update with Windows XP, there is a checkbox to not show an update again. I like that feature, and used it to hide IE7 on some of my machines. As The How-to Geek points out, there is a comparable feature in Vista, allowing you to hide those updates you'd rather not see or install. It's easy to do, but not necessarily intuitive. Here's how to hide those updates you don't want. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 59: Hide the Vista Updates you don't want to see"
ITsVISTA Tip 58: Restore your Quick Launch 'Show Desktop' icon
I had someone in the chat room ask me how to restore the Show Desktop icon they had deleted from their Quick Launch bar. I did a quick Google and suggested a page at Lockergnome that describes a procedure that worked in Windows XP, but they said they had tried it and not only did the icon not come back properly, it didn't function correctly either. I browsed around a bit and found a way to not only restore the functionality, but the icon as well, and it's easy! Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 58: Restore your Quick Launch 'Show Desktop' icon"
ITsVISTA Tip 57: Add 'Copy To' and 'Move To' to your Vista right-click menu
There are many ways to copy and move files from one location to another. I tend to first open two windows, one being the source, the other the destination, and then drag the file from one to the other. Cut/Copy and Paste is another common means of getting your files were you want them to go. Another option is available in Vista, as I found at the Error Forum, but it doesn't show up by default. Here's how you can add Copy to Folder… and Move to Folder… options to your right-click menu. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 57: Add 'Copy To' and 'Move To' to your Vista right-click menu"
ITsVISTA Tip 56: Display your 'Home' icon on your desktop in Vista
Like yesterday's tip, this one is from the How-To Geek. If you access your Home directory a lot, or the folders within it, it might save you some time to have a shortcut to it on your desktop. Just like doing this with your Computer icon, it's easy to setup. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 56: Display your 'Home' icon on your desktop in Vista"
ITsVISTA Tip 55: Display your 'Computer' icon on your desktop in Vista
Here's an easy one that the How-To Geek pointed out. If you like having your 'Computer' icon (formerly 'My Computer') on your desktop, it's easy to do, just follow these steps. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 55: Display your 'Computer' icon on your desktop in Vista"
ITsVISTA Tip 54: Change the border padding for windows in Vista Basic
In Tip 53 I pointed out how to change the border padding for windows in Vista Aero. The same can be done if you are running Vista's Basic interface (such as you would if running Vista Home Basic, or if you have a video card that isn't Aero capable). The reasons are the same, the steps are just slightly different. Continue reading "ITsVISTA Tip 54: Change the border padding for windows in Vista Basic"

The funny 1992 movie was asking for a musical adaptation and I'm glad to say that it has been successfully translated to the stage. Physically, this is a huge production, but it has a big soul and its heart is in the right place. It's almost impossible not to be enchanted by the fabulous nuns, they're simple great and when they sing in perfect harmony, chills run up and down my spine.
The music score, with fabulous orchestrations by Doug Besterman, works with the book like a match made in heaven and the result is truly uplifting. Director Peter Schneider keeps the show moving in the right way and by the end he has the audience in the palm of his hands. I just wish the choreography was more exciting.
As for the cast, Patina Miller delivers Deloris with a strong hot voice, but she lacks the comic timing and the warmth of Whoopi Goldberg. Sheila Hancock is a very convincing Mother Superior and Katie Rowley Jones, Jennie Dale and Allison Harding are absolutely delightful as the three main nuns. The male cast also has a good time, specially Ako Mitchell as Eddie.
This is a heartening musical, hard to resist and with some great songs (a rarity these days). Don't miss it!


text: Northstar 11 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 Hyundai drops minivan plans Automaker will concentrate on SUV, sport wagon By Charles Child Automotive News / August 26, 2005 http://www.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=13153 Hyundai Motor America has dropped plans to sell a traditional minivan next year. Instead, the company says it will add a seven-passenger SUV. Later, it will offer a six-passenger sport wagon. "We felt the best strategy was to leave the traditional minivan for others," says CEO Robert Cosmai. Hyundai wants to "stay appropriately differentiated from other brands." The unibody SUV, about the same size as a Honda Pilot, will go into production in late 2006. The minivan, dubbed the Entourage, was scheduled for spring 2006. The Entourage was to have shared a platform with the Kia Sedona. American consumers typically don't embrace rebadged vehicles, says John Krafcik, vice president of product development and strategic planning. Hyundai is trying to carve out a separate identify from affiliate Kia. Moreover, the minivan segment is stagnant, he says. The SUV will not be based on the Sedona platform, Krafcik says. The vehicle will be powered by a 3.8-liter V-6 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will offer electronic stability control and side curtain airbags. The sport wagon, due in 2008, will offer a flexible interior for passengers and cargo, the company said in a press release Friday. The vehicle will be similar to the Portico concept shown at the Chicago Auto Show in February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Author's Note: Hi, I'm fairly new to the Hunger Games fandom. I just got into them after I'd finished the trilogy when the movie first came out. This is my first Hunger Games fan fic, so please bear with me! To all my Ugly Betty readers (if you've made it this far), I'll get back to that eventually. I just REALLY wanted to try out my current fandom obsession.
Chapter 1: Moving On
"Mom, I still don't see why Prim and I can't just stay here while you work in California for the summer. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of us both," I protested then added under my breath, "Been doing it for years."
My mother paused her packing and raised her eyebrows in response to my not so subtle remark. She eventually drops her glare in surrender knowing it's a lost cause seeing as though it was actually quite accurate.
My father passed away from lung cancer five years ago when I was just eleven and Prim, my younger sister, was seven. He wasn't a regular smoker. It was just an occupational hazard from working in the automobile factory for so many years and being exposed to the asbestos. After his death, our family received a small settlement from the company, but with his funeral costs and the lack of income, the money quickly depleted. It's not that my mother didn't have the qualifications to get a job. She was actually a traveling nurse prior to her assignment here in Michigan where she met my father and married shortly thereafter. After she had me, they both decided it was best for her to be a stay-at-home mom. She could have easily gotten a job at one of the local hospitals or, at the very least, asked for some financial help from our estranged grandparents who I know to be pretty well off, but my father's death was too much for her to bear. She had completely shut down.
At eleven years old, I wasn't equipped to understand or aid with my mother's grief. All I could do was watch her go about her days like a zombie. It was hardest on Prim. She was so young and helpless. She didn't even know how to prepare her own food or even bathe herself correctly. I took it upon myself to care for her, but even I knew that at some point, the canned ravioli and the sour milk would eventually run out and when it did, there would be little I could do to help Prim anymore.
One day, as I was changing Prim's soiled linens, I found a few hundred dollars my mother had kept under the mattress, left over from the settlement. I managed to ration it out for a couple months of food, riding my bike to the grocery store and back. I knew that the money wouldn't last much longer if my mother wasn't going to snap out of her haze anytime soon. Thankfully, the store clerk took notice of my bike and asked if I'd be interested in delivering newspapers. He even called his brother-in-law at the printing press for me to see if he could give me a paper route.
The next day, I got up at 4:30 in the morning to collect my supply of newspapers and my route assignment. That's where I met Gale. He was another paper boy who was trying to help out his family of five. His father had died of drug overdose earlier that year. Even though his mother was stronger than my own, they had a few more mouths to feed, so at thirteen, Gale took on several odd jobs to contribute. He was in charge of delivering papers to the houses across the street from those I was assigned to, so he'd keep pace with me, chatting away until sunrise, annoying the heck out of me. It wasn't until he missed his route one morning due to the flu, did I realize how much comfort I took in having his company and his stories to entertain me.
From then on, we teamed up for just about every job we tried to support our families – walking dogs, babysitting, mowing lawns, cleaning garages. The last of which was especially fruitful since we'd usually make out with some payment and a few unneeded items that we were able to pawn off for a little extra cash. The biggest treasure was a box of old baseball cards the owner outgrew. Little did he know he had a collection worth over $1200. Split up, it fed our families for over four months.
When our landlord started knocking on our door, demanding back rent she had kindly overlooked due to the circumstances she knew we were in, I knew that the meager earnings I was getting from these juvenile chores would not sustain us. I began taking some of our own belongings and pawning them off, starting with the frivolous possessions like the television and blender and eventually working my way through the sentimental items like my father's guitar and wedding ring. The latter seemed to have sent my mother deeper into her depression.
This desperate routine carried on for just over a year, surprisingly. There were times I was sure we were going to go without any food or a roof over our heads had it not been for some outside intervention. It wasn't until our next door neighbor came to our door screaming and crying for help for her elderly father who was having a heart attack did my mother finally shows some sign of cognizance. It was like she was suddenly broken from her hypnotic trance. I hadn't seen her move so quickly in months. Prim and I followed behind her as she rushed down the hall of our apartment building to aid the gentleman who was now lying unconscious on the floor. The woman who had called us for help was now keeled over on the floor beside him, crying hysterically. My mother shouted for me to call 911, but I was frozen in the doorway in shock of both the life that had drained from this man and the life that had suddenly filled the woman I had been living with. I barely felt Prim push me aside and run to the phone hanging on the wall. I wasn't even sure of what she was saying to whoever responded on the other end of the line. I simply stood by and watched as my mother took turns breathing into his mouth and pressing his chest until paramedics arrived.
I would never wish for such an ordeal to happen to anyone. Thanks to my mother, the man did survive. But more importantly to me, we survived as a result of what transpired, so I can't help but be grateful that he needed her help that day. Shortly thereafter, my mother decided to try nursing again to get us back on our feet. It took some time for her to get regular assignments, so I continued to do the odd jobs with Gale. Besides, I was still skeptical of how long my mother's motivation would last. I didn't trust her to take care of Prim and me anymore.
Our relationship was never the same after that first year following my father's death. I had to toughen up and grow up faster than I was ready to. The mother I had to nurture me no longer existed. I was angry at her. Not just for failing to take care of us, but for not allowing Prim or me the opportunity to grieve our father's passing. We didn't have time or energy to think about him or mourn him. We simply channeled all that we had into just surviving. My mother had taken it all for herself. For that, I wasn't sure I'd ever forgive her.
"Sweetie, we've already talked about this. I've already explained to you that this nursing assignment will be different from the others. California is the furthest away, for one thing, and it's three months not just three weeks. I can't leave you and Prim here alone for that long," she reiterated.
"Well, you've – " I began before she held her hand up to silence my exhausted argument.
"I know, Katniss. You can't use that against me forever. I've been doing my best to support this family for the past four years," her tone was stern and I could tell she was trying to hold back her frustration with me. She softened her gaze and her volume. "I can't ask you to forgive me for what I did after your father died, but all I can ask is that you please let me do my job now."
There was nothing more I could say to sway her, so I simply sat there on our dining room chair sulking in the thick tension that filled the air. Just then Prim, with her impeccable timing, pirouetted into the room clad in her new red polka dotted bathing suit and a duck float adorning her waist.
"Ta-daaa! What do you think?" Prim fluttered her long, blonde eyelashes at us.
"Adorable as always, Little Duck!" I admired the innocent twinkle in her eyes. When I was her age, I was carrying the weight of the world – at the very least, the weight of our family's survival. It was my life's purpose to ensure that Prim would never have to bear that same burden, so it brought me a sense of pride to see her indulging in what little childhood she had left.
"This is going to be the best summer ever! I can't wait to go to California! I'm gonna go swimming every day, build sandcastles, learn how to surf…"
"Whoa, Prim! Who said you're allowed to go surfing? I don't recall giving you permission to surf!" Mother interjected.
Prim looked at me for back up.
"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll do plenty of channel surfing every day. It'll be a blast!" I said sarcastically. "I'm going to Gale's. I'll be back before dinner."
"Katniss, would you mind stopping by the store and getting some spaghetti noodles?" I heard my mother call out to me as I grabbed my house keys off the wall.
"Mm-hmm!" I replied dismissively then disappeared out the door.
"It just sucks that it's our last summer before you go off to college and we won't even get to spend it together," I whined as I handed Gale the screwdriver.
He slid out from under the old, beat up truck that was constantly in need of repair. "Hey, who said I was going to college? I don't know if Mom's going to get by without me around." Gale grabbed a rag to wipe the grease from his hands. "Besides, I haven't heard back from any of them yet."
"Gale, you're gonna hear from them. And I'm certain one of the schools will even give you a football scholarship. You had enough scouts come out to watch you, you could've started selling cookies," I reassured him.
He shrugged indifferently knowing that, around here, kids rarely went off to college. Gale, however, had the extra burden of taking care of his family and leaving to go to college would definitely put extra pressure on his mother to provide for the other three kids.
"I want to. Catnip, I want to go so bad," he said quietly. My endearing nickname came out like a desperate plea. I knew that it made him feel guilty to want to leave his family behind, but even his mother wanted him to have the rare opportunity. "I just can't."
It took every ounce of faux perkiness I could muster to give him the encouragement I knew he so badly needed to hear.
"Gale, you can. And you will. You'll get a full ride somewhere, get a degree in Business or something, get drafted by the Lions, and buy your mom a freakin' mansion somewhere!" I looked boldly into his grey eyes, holding on tightly to his arms and countering the tension of his biceps with the grip of my fingers.
"And what will my family do for four years in the mean time?" He stared back down at me and I could see the years of worry he has put on. Gale just recently turned eighteen, but one would think by his troubled expressions, he was in his twenties.
His brother, Rory, rode up on his bike, dropping it unceremoniously on the front step of the house. He nodded a curt 'what's up' to me before tossing a baseball to his older brother and heading into the house with nonchalance. Rory was just a year behind me in school, but like Prim, he was able to hold on to his childhood innocence a little longer thanks to his older sibling.
"Rory's fifteen. Old enough to get a job – a real job. He's old enough to step up and take on some of the responsibility." We both laughed at the vision of his brother, the poster boy for teen stereotypes, wearing a uniform and keeping an actual job.
Gale ran his calloused fingers through his dark, shaggy hair. "So what are you gonna do all summer? Lay around in a bikini, drinking virgin piña coladas, and reading Danielle Steele novels?"
I winced at the image he created. "Nice segue, Hawthorne." He flashed one of his half-smiles. "Well, on that note, I'd better get going. I have to stop by the store for my mom and I haven't even finished packing my things."
"Will you guys be needing a ride to the airport in the morning?" Gale offered hopefully.
"I think my mom was planning on getting a cab to take us, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind you taking us instead. I know I'd prefer it." I untied my jacket from my waist and slipped it on to shield myself from the brisk air that was settling in as the sun began to set.
"Then I will be at your doorstep, bright and early." My body froze as Gale's expression became one I had never seen in the course of our five year friendship. His hands reached back behind my neck as he gently freed my braid from the collar of my jacket. I swallowed hard in anticipation of what he might do or say next. And even then, nothing could prepare me for it.
"Gale, thank you so much for the ride. It was very generous of you." My mother gave his shoulders a gentle squeeze after he'd unloaded our luggage from the back of the truck. "Please give your mother my regards. I wish I had a chance to at least have a cup of coffee with her before we left, but she's been so busy."
"Yeah, peak season for the hotel. Lots of beds to make!" Gale replied.
My mother took Prim and their suitcases to go check into our flight. Gale and I stood awkwardly in front of each other.
"So…" I repeated.
"I'm really sorry about last night," he began. "I shouldn't ha –"
I shook my head to interrupt him. "Don't worry about it. It was nothing." I could tell by the crestfallen look on his face that it was, in fact, something to him. I felt compelled to say something to make things right between us before I left. "Gale, I'd be lying if I said I never wondered what it would be like… me and you. But now is definitely not the time to figure that out."
He nodded reluctantly. I pulled him into a tight and lingering embrace.
"Take care, Catnip. Don't be a stranger, alright?"
I could hear Prim calling for me to hurry.
"I'll call you!" I backed away from Gale, waving my hand one last time before I turned to move on to my next adventure.
A/N: I'll be honest. I don't really know where I'm taking this story. All I knew was that I wanted to write something in the modern day setting. I just kept overthinking it and every idea I came up with, I'd try to search and sure enough, it'd been done. So finally, I gave up planning and just wrote whatever came out. I really, really hope I'm not ripping anyone off! So please review and give me your feeback! Not only does it encourage me to keep going, but it helps me sort my thoughts. I know there's probably not much to say about this introductory chapter, but any amount of cheerleading helps!

Susan Khalje ccame to Australia, and I was fortunate enough to do my second Couture Sewing School Class with her. This time, I chose a pair of pants as the focus.
CSS – Day 1 & 2: Fitting and Fabric
CSS – Day 3, 4, 5 & 6: Basting, Fitting & Sewing
In October 2013 I did a 6 day couture sewing course with Susan Khalje. Quite different to the French Jacket class where we were all working on the same thing – this was BYO project to work on under her tutelage! I had to keep myself in check to not wander around the tables just watching what everyone else was doing and listening to the advice being given.
The hardest thing about joining this class was choosing what to sew! I was torn… what I love sewing most is tailored jackets and blazers, but felt as though having just finished the French Jacket Class, that I would want something different to sew. So I went the more predictable option and took a dress.
I haven't yet finished that dress… it's been temporarily put aside whilst I sew my wedding dress. Besides – it's summer right now and I'm not overly enthused about sewing a wool crepe dress in the heat! Rest assured, i'll finish it sometime in 2014 :)
Couture Sewing School – Day 1: Fabric Shopping and Fitting
Couture Sewing School – Day 2: Beginnings of a Dress
Couture Sewing School – Day 3: The Day of the Skirt

If you've seen any of my "What's on My Plate?" posts, you know that I eat chocolate oatmeal more often than not. With good reason. It only takes a few ingredients and a few minutes to make (most of them spent in the microwave), it's cheap, and it's chocolate. Since I mention my chocolate oatmeal so often, I thought I should measure it for once so you guys can make it too!
You may be wondering about the banana and oatmeal together in one meal. Aren't they both carb sources? Yep, but according to my Google research, half a medium banana and a 1/2-cup serving of oats still comes well within the 45g net carb limit for a Trim Healthy Mama E meal. 🙂
If you like, you can whisk some egg whites (for extra protein) into the hot oatmeal after cooking. Oatmeal has some protein of its own (6g/serving), so adding additional protein is not required. However, if you find that you can't make it to lunch without getting terribly hungry, extra protein would be a great idea.

- 3-4 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (a doonk is 1/32 tsp.)

- Sliced banana
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Microwave the first three ingredients together in a large bowl for 3 minutes. (I use a large serving bowl so the oatmeal doesn't run over in the microwave.) You could also cook this mixture on the stovetop until the desired consistency is reached.

NEW YORK –Twin boys born conjoined at the head have been discharged from the New York hospital where they recovered for months following a successful separation surgery.
Jadon and Anias McDonald have captured the hearts of the country as CNN followed their tricky separation at Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center.
Two months ago, the boys underwent a 27-hour-long surgery to separate them. CNN reports their recovery was one of the fastest ever.
This week, the boys left Montefiore Medical Center and are now at Blythedale Children's Hospital in suburban New York where they will undergo months of physical therapy.
On their way out of the hospital, more than 30 medical staff lined the hallways to bid a festive farewell to the boys they have grown to love over the past two months. The boys' father, Christian McDonald and mom Nicole say the medical staff has become more like family over the past few months.
"We've all come to an agreement that it's not goodbye. It's just 'See you later,'" Nicole told CNN.

Many MMO games out there (such as World of Warcraft and possibly Blade & Soul) will probably have a private-server community or a modding community.
If you can extract the data from the MMO game, then chances are you can probably extrapolate all of the weapons, items, areas, quests, spells, ingredients, currencies, etc... as well as their statistics for the information you're looking for.
The only thing you'd have to hunt down is an image of said item to display in a Wiki-like format.
I'd recommend looking for any .db files that you may encounter from the extracted data (I use DB Browser for SQLite to open those) which is essentially a database to store the information you may be looking for.
I know that WoW has something similar to this for extrapolating their in-game items, areas, and quests.

10 Favorite Shah Rukh Khan Roles That Still Rules Our Hearts
"Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga."
This dialogue has given many Rahuls all over the world one of the best introductory line.
On that note, Raj bhi suna hi hoga.
Yes, we are talking about our very own Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who turns 50 today. In a career span of two decades the actor has showcased many shades of romance as Rahul and Raj, his most common onscreen names.
On his 50th birthday we are going to our favorite 10 of his best performances:
1. Chak De! India
His spectacular performance as the coach of Indian women's hockey team is what we loved in the film. His sattar minute dialogue
from the film got so famous that it has been used and reused by fans.
2. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
DDLJ is Bollywood's definitive love story
even today which placed SRK in pole position among the roster of cinematic lover boys. The film still runs in the theaters.
3. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
Raj and Rahul have almost always got their love but as Sunil lost his love in this film to his rival, he won the audience and the critics over with his performance.
4. Swades
Swades was one of the first movies of SRK which was different from rest of his mainstream movies where the film was about realism
and not love and revenge.
5. Dil Se...
In this movie SRK shows the desperation of a man who is in love and gets betrayed by his lover. He is however caught up at the
point between love and nationalism.
6. My Name is Khan
SRK won many hearts and empathy when he played the role of an autistic Rizwan. The film revolved around the journey of Rizwan
which he takes to meet the President of the US to say that his name is Khan and he is not a terrorist.
7. Baazigar
SRK made the anti-hero trend feel legit with this movie where he sets out to avenge his father who was duped by his former
8. Karan Arjun
9. Paheli
In this film Shah Rukh Khan plays the role of a workaholic who ignores his wife due to his work and also the role of a spirit who wants nothing more than being with the woman he loves.
10. Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman
Just four films old, SRK did a convincing job of portraying innocence and disenchantment by turns who is caught in a conspiring world of the rich and the glamorous.

Defeat could be end for me: Fury
Tyson Fury claims he may retire from boxing if he fails to beat world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and is left feeling like "a fraud".
The 6ft 9ins Traveller challenges Klitschko for the Ukrainian's WBA, WBO and IBF belts in Dusseldorf tonight insisting the bout is "just another fight".
He is confident of beating the odds at the ESPRIT Arena and claims, truthfully or not, that failure would make him consider walking away.
"If I lose on Saturday, I'm a fraud," he said.
"I won't be the champion I think I am.
"It would mean I'm no good. Simple.
"If I can't beat Wlad, it means I'm no good.
"And I'll be the first person to say that.
"I'd think about retiring, for sure. Because make no mistake, there's nobody out there other than Wlad that's any good. I think Wlad could beat the rest of them out there.
"It is what it is. if I don't beat him then I'm obviously no good so I'll think about doing nothing and just put my feet up."
While he is willing to consider the fact he may lose, 27-year-old Fury, who weighed in one pound heavier than the champion at 247lbs yesterday, is by no means expecting it.
"I think it's going to be really easy to be honest," he said.
"One of my easiest fights. It's just another fight for me. They're all must-wins.
"This fight is no more important than my last one or the one before that because every one is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle and if I hadn't won those ones before I wouldn't be in this position.
"To me it's just a boxing fight. Two men, two pairs of gloves. That's it.
"We'll go at it and may the best man win.
"I have no hard feelings towards Wladimir, and I hope he performs to the best of his ability."
Fury (24-0, 18KO wins) labelled 39-year-old Klitschko "mutton dressed as lamb".
"He's old. He looks pretty, he looks the part, but we know mutton isn't lamb," he said.
"You can taste the difference. We all know an old, 10-year-old sheep is not a nice young spring lamb in a field.
"That's what Wlad is. He looks okay on the surface, but deep down he is an old, veteran fighter."
Klitschko, for his part, rates Fury as his biggest challenge since he fought David Haye, despite Fury's fellow Briton whimpering to a lop-sided defeat when they met in 2011.
"I would say so," said the Ukrainian (64-3, 53KO wins).
"I had some challenging fights before that and then again with Haye.
"There is a lot of noise, there is a lot of tension and pressure (against these fighters).
"But pressure is actually a positive thing, you perform better under pressure."
The odds will be firmly stacked against Fury when the first bell sounds and while the challenger undoubtedly has a puncher's chance, a late stoppage would be the safest bet.
Klitschko had been expected to be leaner and lighter than usual for this bout but will actually be more than four pounds heavier than in his last fight against Bryant Jennings.
Fury, who shunned Klitschko's offer to shake hands before the weigh-in but did so after their stare-down, claims he has the mental edge.
He added: "I saw fear and nerves in his face, like I always do when I stare into Wladimir's eyes.
"I think he's very tense and uptight about this fight.
"He knows he's going to lose this fight.

Monitor displays "no signal" when HDMI is used
Alrighty guys, i have a problem.
About a week ago, my PC was running just fine. My monitor was also running fine(Im using a HDMI cable for my monitor).
Then one morning i turn on my PC, and my monitor displays "no signal" with a black background. So i try using the VGA cord and poof! It works! But when i switch back to the HDMI the same thing as before happens.
I conclude that i needed a new Graphics Card.
So i go ahead and buy the nVidia Geforce GTX 650 2G.
It came in this morning and i installed in onto the PC. I figure out that the output from this Graphics Card is mini-HDMI so i buy a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.
Guess what happens???
SAME THING!!! Black screen with "No Signal"
I revert back to the VGA cord and poof! It magically works!
I have gone all over the web searching for solutions. NONE!!!
I rolled back the driver, system restored, changed the resolution, changed the cable, and still i get no result.
So i decided to try it on a different monitor.
It worked! But right after the system booted up, literally right before the login screen would come up, the screen goes black and there is no signal!
So i restarted my PC and decided to run it again but in safe mode. And it worked fine, only on safe mode.
I also tried using the monitor with another system (Xbox 360) using a HDMI cable.
It worked on both inputs...
Right now I can only use my VGA cable, and i want to use my HDMI.
Im not setting up dual screens or anything. Im just siplmy trying to view my computer in HD.
Please help me...

Hi KidWrath, welcome to the Seven Forums.
Please post a screenshot of your Screen Resolution Tool window when the display is connected with HDMI even if it shows No signal (right click an empty spot on Desktop, select Screen resolution from the context menu, post a pic of the window that opens).
This is what I'm asking you to post:

OK, the display is not there.
Did you install the display drivers for your Geforce GPU? Anyway, I recommend you to test the HDMI cable, it might be so simple that the cable is broken. Even without the drivers the system should find the display.

But you know what? I dont think i installed the display adapter. Let me check...

Check that the HDMI cable is really connected to display; as the slot is behind the display it sometimes get partially out, only hanging there. Open then the Screen resolution Tool again and click Detect.

We Are To Play The Game Of Death - Poem by Rabindranath Tagore
WE are to play the game of death to-night, my bride and I.
The night is black, the clouds in the sky are capricious, and the waves are raving at sea.
We have left our bed of dreams, flung open the door and come out, my bride and I.
We sit upon a swing, and the storm winds give us a wild push from behind.
My bride starts up with fear and delight, she trembles and clings to my breast.
Long have I served her tenderly.
I made for her a bed of flowers and I closed the doors to shut out the rude light from her eyes.
I kissed her gently on her lips and whispered softly in her ears till she half swooned in languor.
She was lost in the endless mist of vague sweetness.
She answered not to my touch, my songs failed to arouse her.
To-night has come to us the call of the storm from the wild.
My bride has shivered and stood up, she has clasped my hand and come out.
Her hair is flying in the wind, her veil is fluttering, her garland rustles over her breast.
The push of death has swung her into life.
We are face to face and heart to heart, my bride and I.

There's a long discussion about creating your own links to specific pages at SAS right here in the ABW forum. But several months ago, Brian created the custom link to a specific page tool to simplify the whole thing.
Find a merchant page you want. Copy the URL. Put it in the spot on Custom Link to a specific page. Make the link.
I often find pages and products I want on Make a Page. I have my pages set up with my own table layout and I use Make a Page to find products. Then I copy the data without the TD / Table markup and I put that data in my own spot on the page.
If you found a link to a specific product on Make A Page, you wouldn't need to make a link to the product because the link would already be made. Just copy and use it.
June 10th, 2006, 10:55 PM #5
Excellent observation Judi. However, not all merchants have products in the Make a Page feature. In those cases, the make a custom link will do the job nicely.
June 10th, 2006, 11:19 PM #6
Thanks for the product link info with make-a-page, but the original question was
does shareasale have a URL redirect feature similar to the "?URL=" feature in CJ ?
CJ has an encryption feature.
Some affiliates prefer to use their own cloaking methods instead of CJ's encryption feature (I believe because of a mouseover result); other affiliates use CJ's encryption feature.
It doesn't seem as if SAS supports an encryption feature, does it?

June 11th, 2006, 02:55 AM #8Originally Posted by Rhia7
for example, with CJ: i can create landing URLs on the fly, without having to go into CJ to create the link... make sense? i don't think shareasale has the same flexibility - or am i just missing something?
June 11th, 2006, 09:13 AM #9
It can be done. The post I found below is where the mechanics of it are hashed out.
I used this method for a long time to make links on the fly as you mention. Here is a quick outline
Grab a link at SAS - u= is your ID, m= the merchant ID no. url=is the page.
If I remember right you need the b also to make it work. Stands for banner id, but you can use any number that the merchant has created. I think that in every link section there is a short short version for that merchant that is the minimum code you need in order to track.
If there's a ? in the url, you have to do more to get around the query. The thread has the address of a handy decoder ring site that will rewrite it for you.
Hope this helps and I hope I didn't miss something and create a frustrating day for you

The family wagon. It's hardly a proposition that sends your brain abuzz. But Volkswagen Australia wants to change that.
It�s released a new addition to the Golf line-up - the new Golf Wagon. And the premise is simple: more Golf.
Volkswagen's newest model offers a very cargo- and/or passenger-friendly 1495-litres of space with the rear seats folded down (compared to the hatch's 1305-litres). There's also a clever extendable cargo net, which allows for restrained storage right up to the back of the driver's seat.
With the seats down, too, there's plenty of space, with 505-litres in the cargo area compared to the already reasonable 350-litres offered by the hatch.
There may already be some competitors in this section of the market, but the Peugeot 308 Touring and the Hyundai i30cw aren't a worry for the new Golf Wagon, says VW Australia managing director Anke Koeckler.
"Our aim is actually to create a segment right now," she says. "And I think we have a good product to do that."
Koeckler points out that although there are competitors that the Golf Wagon will inevitably contend with, she suggests that the new addition to the line-up may even draw other brands back into the smaller wagon segment.
"Peugeot is a competitor but honestly this [the Golf Wagon] is not in its segment," says Koeckler.
Perhaps that's because the Volkswagen offers less space than the 308 Touring (674-litres seats up/2149-litres down).
Though it does slot in to a bigger size category than its other potential competitor, the Hyundai i30 (415-litres with seats up/1395-litres with seats down).
There's also the potential for even more load, with roof rails standard across the entire Wagon range.
But all that extra space comes at a price - all Golf Wagon models attract a $2000 premium over their smaller hatch counterparts. Another polarising factor could be the Golf Wagon's newly styled tail-lights, which seem to take to cutesy factor away from the Golf range.
The range follows the same branding as the hatch, including both Trendline and Comfortline ranges.
The Trendline offers a cloth interior, rear air-vents and black exterior trims (such as radiator grille and roof rails).
The base-model offering is the Trendline 90TSI six-speed manual, starting at $26,990 plus on-road costs. It offers the same 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 90kW/200Nm, with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic variant for $2500 more ($29,490).
The least powerful turbo-diesel offering is the Trendline 77TDI, which is teamed with a five-speed manual ($29,490) or seven-speed DSG automatic for $31,990.
The Comfortline range includes chrome body highlights, 16-inch alloys, dual-zone air, rain-sensing wipers and auto-headlights. This can be added as an option to any Trendline model for an additional $2200.
The Volkswagen Group's wide-spread use of its 118TSI engine also makes its way into the Golf Wagon line-up, but with no manual gearbox option - instead the versatile seven-speed DSG automatic is standard. The top-spec petrol Wagon comes in at $33,990.
The top of the range 103TDI Comfortline also only comes in automatic guise, this time with the 6-speed dual-clutch automatic thanks to the excess torque (320Nm) produced by the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine
All Golf Wagon models come with six airbags as standard, as well as stability control and traction control. Daytime driving lights are standard across the range, too.
The worst news about the new Golf Wagon? There won't be a sporty GTI variant.

By Corbin Ensminger
The Battery clinched a playoff spot on Saturday after a huge 2-0 win over Louisville City FC at MUSC Health Stadium. Second half goals from Justin Portillo and Dane Kelly sealed the win.
The victory, combined with other results around the league, guaranteed that the Battery would at least get a playoff game. If they win against Charlotte this Saturday, that playoff game will be played at home. Louisville was already assured of second place, after clinching that last week. There were questions about where Louisville's mindset would be, since they had nothing to play for. Regardless, it was clear that the Battery desperately wanted the win. They seemed to have an extra burst of speed all night, beating the visitors to lose balls and making great runs and passes.
Louisville gave it a good effort, and took the game to Charleston a few times, but for the most part the Battery controlled the game. Charleston outshot their guests 12-5 on the night. The Louisville defense was able to keep off Charleston from scoring from the run-of-play, but two set pieces led to goals which tilted the game in the Battery's favor.
The game against Charlotte is going to be a big one. The home playoff game is on the line as well as the Southern Derby Cup. The playoff scenarios are numerous and complicated. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for more on that.
Starting XI
Charleston: GK: Cooper DEF: Adjetey, Ferguson, Mueller, Prince MID: Portillo, van Schaik, Chang, Garbanzo (Thuriere 67′), Boyd (Marini 59′) FWD: Kelly (Rodriguez 89′)
Battery coach Mike Anhaeuser used his regular lineup Saturday, but with one change. Zach Prince played as the right back, a position he has been called upon to play when needed. Quinton Griffith and O'Brian Woodbine were both on the bench but did not play. Griffith had just returned from spending the international break with Antigua and Barbuda, and Woodbine has been recovering from an injury.
Both of them should be available to Anhaeuser on Saturday, and Charleston will need to be at full strength against Charlotte.
64th minute, GOAL Charleston (Portillo, unassisted.)
Portillo put Charleston ahead mid-way into the second half on a freekick from right outside the box. Kelly was fouled on an off-the-ball play, and Portillo decided to take the kick himself. It took a deflection off of the Louisville wall and beat goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh.
81st minute, GOAL Charleston (Kelly, assisted by van Schaik.)
Dante Marini was fouled by defender Enrique Montano outside of the box in the 81st minute, and Jarad van Schaik stepped up to deliver the ball into the box. He sent it to the far post where Kelly was able to make contact with his head. The headed ball bounced off of the grass and into the net for Charleston's second goal.
Other results Saturday
The other crucial games in the Eastern Conference went about as well as they possibly could for the Battery on Saturday, as they gained points over all of the other teams chasing a playoff spot.
The New York Red Bulls II fell to FC Montreal 2-0, leaving them one point behind Charleston. Charlotte also lost 2-0 to Saint Louis FC, allowing the Battery to open a three-point lead over the Independence. Elsewhere, Richmond and Harrisburg drew 1-1 and Pittsburgh and Wilmington had the same result in their match.
Playoff scenarios
There are still several different things that could happen to change the playoff lineup. But the first four spots are filled — Rochester, Louisville, Charleston and the New York are already in. The last two spots are up for grabs.
The first two teams out, as of Tuesday, are the two from Pennsylvania. But both Pittsburgh (37 points) and Harrisburg City (36) have only played 26 games, while all of the teams above them except for Rochester have played 27 of the 28 regular-season games. Pittsburgh hosts Rochester Wednesday, while Harrisburg travels across the border to face FC Montreal.
Then, the two teams face eachother in the last game of their seasons on Saturday. Richmond is sitting directly above Pittsburgh with 38 points, and will face Toronto FC II in their final game of the season. Charlotte is currently fifth with 40 points. But so much can still change.
It's very complicated and confusing. Thankfully, Battery communications assistant Sarah Cardamone wrote a great breakdown of it on the team's website. Read it here.
— Ferguson was voted by media members as the USL player of the week for his performance in the shutout. Portillo made the "bench."
— If the Battery has at least 3,430 fans come out to Saturday's game, the season-average attendance will be at 4,000 for the first time ever.

I am allergic to caffeine. My doctor prescribed a medician that does not have caffeine in it. However, the first time I had taken the medician I had the same reaction as if it had caffeine in it. When I called the pharmacy I found that there is two versions of the medician, with and without caffeine. So I decided to contact several places to have it tested to check for myself. I am allergic to a lot of things and this way I can protect my health.
I want to see if my current prescription has caffeine in it?
