TV in Spain
The most popular type of television that you will find in Spain is satellite as the regular transmissions that are used for radio and television through the world do not work well in Spain. You can take it into your own hands and get your own satellite system but be sure that it is compatible with the satellite stations. Be sure that the satellite dish that you go with has a Video crypt decoder and is capable of receiving radio frequencies as well.
Phones in Spain
Having a telephone in Spain can be a bit costly if you do not know what to do or how to cut some corners. There is one main telephone company which owns many smaller ones, giving people an option of choosing from different providers. You must show your passport or residence card as well as proof of rent or ownership of your home. You will have to pay a connect fee and in some cases a deposit to get the service turned on. You can also save money on your long distance calls by using your phone during reduce hours for cost or purchase a phone card to do all of your long distance calls Radio Spain.
Internet Services in Spain
Another option for phone service is the internet. You can get programs such as Skype where you can call from pc to pc. This is good as you can get cheap or next to nothing on rates. You can also pay a flat rate with an internet service provider to avoid paying for local calls. Most plat rates are pretty much the same from one company to the next and they all offer different plans. You will want to check out different ISP's as they are mainly found cheaper in the larger cities. The farther out you get from the city the more you will pay.
Would you like to earn money for writing about your travels?
If you can write articles like this one, you could write for the website [http://www.worldtraveldirect.co.uk], which is written by people who travel, for people who travel. If your work is of a good standard, you will be invited to show advertisements on your own posts.
How it works:
Unlike most travel blog sites, this site encourages you to put advertisements in your own articles, if visitors click these ads, then you will get paid.
Ads served will be usually be travel related, for example, offering a cheap UK travel insurance quote [http://www.uk-insurance-travel.co.uk]. This is easy to do as the site uses 'contextual advertising'. This means that whatever you write about in your post the ads on that page will be relevant to whatever you have written about.

Major brands are shifting significant marketing resources to marketing via mobile phones, according to an independent survey of 50 brand name companies commissioned by Airwide Solutions…
By 2008, 89% of brands will use text and multimedia messaging to reach their audience, with nearly one-third planning to spend in excess of 10% of marketing budgets on the medium. In five years over half of the brands polled expect to spend between 5% and 25% of total marketing budget on mobile marketing.
Recognising the prevalence of mobile text messaging, 40% of brands have already deployed text messaging campaigns, and 18% have deployed MMS campaigns.
Despite some enthusiasm to adopt mobile marketing,growth is still inhibited by the lack of supporting information to manage and optimise marketing programs.
More than half (55%) of responding brands are unsure how to reach specific target audiences via mobile campaigns, 58% are unsure about how to implement and measure an SMS campaign, and 61% unsure how to implement and measure a MMS campaign.

"Platonov. Living the main life"
The play is based on several works by Andrey Platonov: "Living the main life" (the correspondence with his wife Maria Alexandrovna, which she published after the death of her husband), the story " Ethereal path " and stories "Fro", "Antiseksus" and "Return".
It is a dry and even tough story about the struggle between life and work in the fate of the great writer. It is an attempt to answer the question what it is like for him as an artist to "live the main life"? Is it his work or real life? What is more important?
When the heart is blown up because of impossibility to be near the close people
and you start to talk to the family using the text of your works.
The play is the winner of the All-Russia young stage direction festival – experimental platform "ON.TEATR.ru", and was invited to the festival "Young Theaters of Russia" in Omsk. Theatre stage direction experimental platform ON.TEATR became the major project of "MIG"Youth Centre of Theatre and Film Arts.
The project manager Milena Avimskaya set the task to create an open experimental platform for young filmmakers, artists and actors. The best director's works are selected by the Expert Council and then the stage sketches of the winners of become full performances.
Denis Husniyarov is an actor, the director of The Youth Theatre on Fontanka, the director of The Theatre on Vasilevsky. He graduated from St. Petersburg State Academy of Theatre Arts (C. Spivak's course), where he is teaching at the moment.
ON.TEATR is not afraid of modern language and innovative approaches as it works with "new drama" and the traditional classics as well. The repertoire of this "No-a-teatre" focuses on the young (not just about age, but mostly about spirit) spectator who is interested in alive creativity. There is no chief director in the theater, and that's why every single play is an experiment and a point of view, free expression of a particular director.

how to make Synapse app running when i'm runing Xcode project
I 'have made an application in Quartz Composer using Synapse app. I have succed to make it run in Xcode. The problem is that I have to run the application Synapse before. And I want Xcode to run the app Synapse on is own. But I don't know how. Thank you
Re: how to make Synapse app running when i'm runing Xcode ...
My first thought would be to try and integrate the synapse source directly into your application if it is absolutely required. It might be possible to spawn other programs from your own app, but you'd need to include it in your app bundle, and might lead to complications if the user already has it installed or running, and further complications if new versions appear. Might be best to exclude it from your app and somehow check if synapse is running when your app starts, if not, prompt the user to get it and start it themselves, providing links in an alert or something.
The synapse page does include a link to the source code but the openframeworks web adress provided seems to be gone, the file still downloads (http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/6305362427/source)

Posted on June 6, 2016 by Kelli Crockett
Hey Reader:)
This is a video I came across about two years ago…? Yeah, about two. Three? Probably three.
Anyway, I saw this just when I was starting to get serious about writing, when I first started this blog (the pre-wordpress days), and when I was still in the middle of planning Deception. This video was made by Kaleb Nation, before he wrote Harken, and I still go back and watch it all of the time because it's a good inspiration to me. In fact, every morning during the Deception days, I would get up at 5:30 in the morning, watch this video, and write for an hour before getting ready for school. It's one of many things that kept me going through 125,000 words of my first book.
Seriously, you just need to watch it. If you know what it's like to try and take on the task of writing a book, even if you've only written a chapter, this is the most relatable thing ever. I've probably watched it… fifty times by now? A hundred. Probably a hundred…
My challenge for you? Try to take something away from it. Even if you don't write novels, even if you aren't writing right now, try to take something away from it to help you write later on. Comment what you think!
Also, throughout the summer I'm going to be expanding my posts into more inspirational things and tools for writers, as well as a few other things to try and help you all in your writing as well. That said, the posts will vary in length (at least that way I can get something out everyday). If you have any ideas for writers, anything you might want to share on my blog, I'm definitely open to anyone who wants to do a guest post!
As always, good luck:)
Thank you for reading, and don't stop writing!

In the article, C&EN Senior Business Editor Melody M. Bomgardner explains that roughly 22 billion pounds of vegetable oils are used for food making in the U.S. each year. So-called partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which can extend products' shelf-lives, were widely used in preparing restaurant foods such as french fries, as well as snack foods and baked goods since the early 1900s. But mounting evidence in the 1990s showed that these oils are not healthful because of the trans fats that are formed in their production. Trans fats increase the risk of heart disease by raising levels of "bad" cholesterol and lowering levels of "good" cholesterol.
By the time the Food and Drug Administration began requiring food manufacturers to list trans fats on their labels in 2006, Dow and DuPont were already exploring alternatives. The companies plan to launch new seeds that promise oilseed crops with healthier fat content in 2013. Dow's Plenish soybean was genetically engineered, while DuPont's Nexera canola and sunflower were produced through plant breeding. Both companies' products have high amounts of oleic acid, which has been shown to be much more heart-healthy than partially hydrogenated oils. The first target market for these "high-oleic" oils is fried foods, where they can be reused more often than current oils, resulting in a 40 percent cost savings to the food industry. Companies are still working on similar products that could replace shortenings used for baked goods.

Finnish Welfare Activists Charged
Two undercover animal-rights activists from Finland are being charged with disturbing the peace and aggravated defamation.
October 31, 2011
Two members of Finnish animal-welfare group Justice For Animals are under fire after uncovering abusive practices at the nation's pig farms. Two years ago, the duo recorded and released footage from 30 farms showing pigs in cramped and dirty conditions, some dead and with infected wounds, which received widespread attention and sparked outrage among the public as well as the pork industry. This month, the activists—Karry Hedberg, a vegan chef, and Saila Kivelä, a political science student—are being charged with 10 counts of disturbing the peace and 12 counts of aggravated defamation. However, Hedberg tells Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, "At no stage did we ever suggest that the activities carried out at the pig farms were illegal. On the contrary: We wanted to show that this sort of operation is legal in Finland, despite the fact that it upsets many people."

Christmas is definitely more fun with a baby. It was such a joy for Eric and I to experience this Christmas with Eli.
On Christmas Eve both Eli and I caught the cold that Eric was just recovering from, but fortunately Eli didn't seem too phased by it. Eli and I spent the day here at home, listening to Christmas music and baking and taking naps (him, not me!).
After Eric got home we let Eli open his Christmas Eve gift- pajamas. This is our tradition- one gift on Christmas Eve, and it's always pjs. Predictable, yes, but still fun! After Eli's bath, Eric read him the Christmas story and rocked him to sleep.
Kelly and Phil (sister and brother-in-law) came over for dinner- New York strip steaks, mashed potatoes, fancy salad, cranberry prosecco cocktails, and chocolate cheesecake for dessert. We had a really nice time! Before the babies were born we would spend Christmas Eve at Houston's steakhouse, which we missed, but I must say that I enjoyed this just as much. It was great to be with people we love in the coziness of our own home and eat awesome food.
After they left Eric and I made mojitos, ate cake, and watched It's a Wonderful Life (best Christmas movie ever!). We opened the pjs we gave each other, read the Christmas story, and went to bed so happy and thankful for our warm little house, our wonderful marriage, our precious son sleeping in the next room, and, most of all, for the gift of our Savior Jesus Christ.
On Christmas morning we brought Eli to bed with us and were just so happy to think of all the Christmases in our future with Eli running to wake us up early in the morning to open presents. It is so fun to have a kid at Christmas! We opened presents here at home, Eli took a little nap, and then we headed to my parents' house for our big family Christmas. It was wonderful as always- so many presents, so much joy, such precious little babies lying in the midst of all the wrapping paper! My mom served us brunch, and then we headed out to the White family Christmas (Eric's mom's side of the family).
This was big and loud and so perfect- kids everywhere, presents piled floor to ceiling, all the food you can imagine... Eli did great, laughing and talking with everyone, not showing a single sign of being sick, which I was so happy about!
After we came home and put Eli to bed (which was s piece of cake, as he was exhausted after the busy day!) we watched the Nativity and ate dinner with my parents and Kelly and Phil. It was the perfect Christmas, and I look forward to so many more with my dear little family.
Sorry for the boring post! :) I hope you guys had a merry Christmas as well, celebrating the birth of our precious Savior.

text: Hudsy is a high-energy singer/songwriter from Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada. Because of his small town upbringing, his original influences were classic rock and country until going to University where he discovered other artists like Keith Urban, Big Wreck, John Mayer, Arkells and Dave Matthews Band. Hudsy gigged while attending University and received a Bachelor of Music (honours) and Bachelor of Education from Brandon University. In 2013 Hudsy took to the road and played gigs in Santa Barbara, California where he was introduced to Jimmy Messina (Buffalo Springfield,Poco, Loggins and Messina) who gave him advice on songwriting and music production. Hudsy stayed on the road that year playing in California, USA as well as Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada. In January of 2013 Hudsy began feeling strange symptoms while playing including numbness of hands, numbness of feet, limping and finally blindness in his right eye. On May 14th, 2014 Hudsy was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. It was through this trying time that Hudsy found a mission to seek joy. In 2014 Hudsy moved to the United Kingdom and in 2015 finally made it to London where he still lives today. Since arriving in London, Hudsy has performed constantly; whether it be playing shows or busking in order to prepare for the promotion of his new music coming out soon. Hudsy has been featured on TalkRadio with Jon Holmes, the MS Society UK's 'MS Connection' Campaign and Global News Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On Suicide Prevention Day September 10, 2018 Hudsy released his debut single 'My Love' which is inspired by his fiancé who suffers from Bipolar Disorder. His aim is that the release of this song brings more awareness to the fight for those with mental illness' and that it sends a message to those who suffer. "You are not alone, trust in love and never give up hope."

Raul Fernando Gomez Circunegui was crossing over the Argentina mountains on his motorcycle when it died. Deciding not to give up he continued his journey on foot. The 58-year-old man soon found the winter to be harsh and took refuge 9,318 feet above sea level in a shelter. There he lived off the meat of rats and raisins. He was found and brought to civilization by men who were recording snow fall in the mountains. The 44-pound lighter Circunegui will never forget his trek into the land that no man lives in.

As of March 2014, we are posting weekly extracts of writings on war and warfare drawn from our manuscript and printed collections. Ranging from items on the Maratha wars to the Second World War, the extracts will reflect opinions both from the battle front and from those at home.
18 August 1945 The Japanese surrender
Following the devastation caused by the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August respectively, Japan surrendered to the allies on 15 August 1945. The surrender was based on the terms of the declaration to end the war, set out at the Potsdam Conference, 17 July-2 August 1945. Lord Mountbatten, who as Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia oversaw the capture of Burma from the Japanese and received the Japanese surrender at Singapore in September 1945, attended the Potsdam Conference. In the press statements below Mountbatten recalls being told about the dropping of the atomic bomb and reflects arrangements for occupation of Japan and of territories formerly occupied by Japan.
"At Potsdam at the end of the first day I was invited by Generals Marshall and Arnold to have dinner with them, but the Prime Minister had nailed me down, so I went along with them for an old fashioned! After General Marshall had got rid of all ADCs, he closed the doors very carefully, looked all around – and then told me about the atomic bomb."
"The very same evening, while dining with the Prime Minister, with whom I spent some three hours, he waited until the servants had withdrawn, then took me in another room, closed all the doors, looked around – and then told me about the atomic bomb."
"The next day I visited with President Truman, who took me in a room and closed all the doors. By that time I recognised the routine. Yes he told me about the atomic bomb! He also said that he had told Stalin about it on the previous evening."
"Our attitude in the reoccupation will be tough; just as tough as we can make it but our manners will be impeccable."
MS 350 A2096 SACSEA press statements, 18 August 1945
21 August 1808 Battle of Vimeiro
The Battle of Vimeiro took place on 21 August 1808, four days after the Battle of Roliça. After the success at Roliça, the Anglo-Portuguese army faced a much larger French force led by Major General Jean Andoche Junot, near the village of Vimeiro. While the French attempted a series of flanking manoeuvres on the weakest point in the British position, they were badly coordinated and were repulsed by Wellesley's forces. The battle resulted in a decisive Anglo-Portuguese victory and ended the first French invasion of Portugal.
However, the subsequent agreement made with the French, the Convention of Sintra, allowed their defeated army to return to France complete with their supplies and loot. This caused a massive outcry in Britain and led to Wellesley being recalled from Portugal to face an inquiry, together with Generals Burrard and Dalrymple. While the agreement ended the active military careers of Burrard and Dalrymple, Wellesley returned to command the British army in Portugal in April 1809.
"In this action in which the whole of the French force in Portugal was employed, under the command of the Duke D'Abrantes, in which the enemy was certainly superior in cavalry and artillery, and in which not more than half of the army was actually engaged, he has sustained a signal defeat and has lost 13 pieces of cannon; 23 ammunition waggons; one General Officer (Brenier) has been wounded and taken prisoner, and a great number of officers and soldiers have been killed, wounded and taken."
MS 61 WP1/211 Letter from Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Wellesley, Vimiero, to Lieutenant General Sir Harry Burrard, 21 August 1808
23 August 1916 Battle of Delville Wood
The Battle of Delville Wood lasted from 14 July to 3 September 1916. Allied aims were to secure one of the small prominent woods which would provide a strategic gain to direct artillery fire and to launch further attacks. The allies suffered a devastating amount of casualties. In addition, the British advance to the north only achieved negligible gains by the close of the battle.
"We are in for hard training, which is necessary after 3 months of trench work, mostly digging etc. The men did the march wonderfully well, only 4 fell out, chiefly owing to eating green apples I fear. They carry a lot of stuff packs, rifles, ammunition etc."
MS 336 A2097/7/1 Letter from Frederick Dudley Samuel to his fiancée and subsequent wife, Dorothy, 23 August 1916

A boho top is one of the easiest pieces to style. Wear it with a printed bandage skirt or simply a pair of shorts, add a belt and accessories, and you're good to go.
I decided to wear a pair of shorts so I can move freely around the campus.
I personally like the braided strap of this boho top. It makes it more chic and more comfortable to wear.
I go to the library during my break time and it can be a little freezing there at times (Yup. We have aircon in Ateneo lol), so I brought a sweater with me and made sure it still goes well with my outfit.
To add a little something to my plain look, I wore my floral sneakers and animal print socks. My friends call this combination "mild gone wild" lol
Do you see my animal print socks peeking? HAHAHAHA

I chose this photo instead to show that we aren't really as serious as we look in our photos. Whenever we shoot, we see to it that we have fun!

The Loop (Games)
Do you like this video?
| The current situation is unfavorable, the bandits are gathering in the areas of the Garbage and the Dark Valley. The best solution is to carry out two preemptive strikes at the same time! Our fighters will take on the valley, and you'll get the Garbage.
- Voronin
Destroy the bandits is an optional mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Obtaining the MissionEdit
- This optional side-mission is given by the leader of the Duty faction General Voronin.
- Player will need to have eliminated the Garbage dogpack and the pack of Fleshes in separate side-missions for Voronin before this mission will be offered.
Mission DetailsEdit
- The Bandit group that Voronin wants you to retire is the same one that constantly respawns and attacks the Train hangar and harasses the player as he runs past them en route to Agroprom.
- Since by this stage of the game the player is very likely far better equipped than the Bandits, this mission should not pose any problems.
- Occasionally, Military detachments and packs of Pseudodogs spawn in the area or 'leak over' from Agroprom.
- Flank attacks from initial cover at the southern side of the Train hangar and then the various piles of concrete pipes in the neighbourhood should be effective.
- A scoped Obokan is ideal.

Do Plastic Owls Scare Pigeons
Pigeons are smart birds. They thrive in urban settings. They are not scared of people. They are scared of predators such as hawks and owls. However, like I said, they are smart birds, with great eyesight, and they damn well know the difference between a fake plastic owl and a live owl! C'mon! You really think pigeons are that dumb? YOU'RE DUMB. Humans constantly underestimate animals.
It's a huge joke in the wildlife removal and pest control industry - the very idea that a fake plastic owl would scare pigeons away! Ridiculous! But some people are gullible enough to buy anything, and it's the cheapest option, so why not try?
Luckily, you CAN buy something plastic to keep pigeons away - needle strips. They come in metal and plastic, and they prevent birds from roosting on unwanted areas, like ledges, beams, signs, roofs, etc. You can install them yourself, or if you need professional pigeon help
Click here for my Nationwide List of Pigeon Trappers
Anyway, sorry if I sound like a jerk, I'm just amazed at the number of times I get asked about plastic owls scaring away pigeons. Animals aren't dumb. They know their environment, they know real threats, and they know what it takes to survive. You may not believe it, but animals such as birds have demonstrated complex emotional responses, and I wouldn't be surprised if pigeons actually think plastic owls are funny.
Pigeons can give you a real headache and there is no doubt in this. They simply are very much irritating and you actually have to face a hard time in convincing them to move away from your property. Especially homeowners as well as dwellers of apartment are greatly disturbed by their presence as these are very dirty birds and create not only noise, but also rubbish inside property. Worst of all a good number of diseases are carried and transmitted by pigeons and their dropping create a real mess. It is important to take strong steps for driving away these birds from your property because they cause damage and create foul smell and this will make it difficult for you to survive. Fortunately there are different ways that can be used for the eradication of pigeons from your property. It has been seen that many of the homeowners give preference to using humane ways for removing these birds and for this there is a great variety of methods that can be used.

Pigeon Prevention Tips: How to Keep Pigeons Away
without crappy fake owls.
However, not all the methods, which have been suggested by experts, are known for providing results and one of these is the utilization of fake owl made up of plastic for controlling pigeon. There is a simple theory present behind this concept. It is a common observation that pigeons are normally terrified of owls as these are their natural predators. People use decoy owls for scaring away pigeons, but this is not known for providing results in real.
It is fact that fake owls are not going to work on pigeons because they are in a perfect position of telling that these are toys not real predators. These plastic decoys are nowhere near the real ones and pigeons can tell this even from a distance. Real ones move, hoot and rotate their heads and you simply can't associate all this with the fake plastic owls. It has also been noticed that owls eat pigeons so when a toy is not observed doing this, then slowly the fear is diminished and confidence level of pigeons is increased. You might have heard about more sophisticated models of the birds which include owls showing mechanical movements and sound effects but these are also not effective as well because with the passage of time pigeons learn how to behave.
From the above mentioned points it is very much clear that it is not important that every time cheap and easy is going to work for you because modern pigeons are also very much smart. If you will discuss the matters with bird control experts it will become apparent that they also don't suggest people to use fake owls because it's only waste of time nothing else.

Practical Exhortations
Consider the weaker Brother in Faith: 14:1-12.
Paul addresses the subject of harmony among the believers in this chapter. They have different level of spiritual maturity yet united in Christ for mutual acceptance (Rom 14:1). There was disagreement about proper diet and observance of days among believers (Rom 14:5). Perhaps some of these believers were clinging on to their old practices. Converts from gentile background were sensitive about eating meat offered to idols. Paul's argument is that since idols are dead, there is nothing wrong in partaking of the meat offered to idols. Those who eat this meat should not be despised or condemned by those who do not eat because God has accepted them both in Christ Jesus. Who are we to pass judgment on the servants of God? God is the judge and we are not. The Christians are not under obligation to follow the dietary laws of the Old Testament. The New Testament does not teach that one day is holier than another day. Paul exhorts that we should work through these matters with mutual love and respect. We are called to serve one another and live for the glory of God. Whether we live or die we belong to Christ. No believer is an island unto himself. The risen Christ is the Lord of all. Therefore Christians are exhorted to live in harmony with one another. Paul addresses the Christians who are weak in the faith. Why do you judge another believer? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God (14:10; 2 Cor 5:10). Everyone of us shall give account of our life individually. To show the certainty of this, here Paul quotes from Isaiah 45:23. So Paul calls for mutual acceptance and support in the church. In all our interactions with other believers, we must show the grace God that has shown to us in Christ. Unsaved will be judged at the great white throne judgment seat (Rev 20:11-15).
Do not Stumble a Weak Believer 14: 13-23.
Paul gives some practical advice here. "Let us not therefore judge one another anymore. We must be careful not to hinder the spiritual growth of others. We should live with conviction and obey the word of God. If someone believes a thing as unclean, his conscience will condemn him for eating it. If he eats it, he violates his own conscience. If a brother is grieved or offended by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By exercising your freedom you may cause your brother to stumble. Christians should not enforce personal preferences on others. We should be mindful of believers who are weak in their faith. The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17). Mutual encouragement is the goal in the church and it will find favor in the sight of God (Rom 14:18). Having peace with God we should become peacemakers. Also we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. These spiritual experiences are the result of our perfect union with Christ. The Christians are exhorted to do everything to build up the common bond of faith. The basis of Christian fellowship is not eating and observing days but our common salvation in Christ Jesus (Jude 1:3). Convictions are fine but it should not be at the expense of salvation. The Christian convictions based on the Word of God should be kept between us and God. Blessed are those who do not exercise their liberty by which others are offended and stumbled. Christians must not force their convictions on others. If our actions are not motivated from faith, they are sinful and unacceptable in God's sight (Rom 14:23). We sacrifice our own desires and preferences for the sake of others because that is what Jesus has done for us.

What a great time we had.
I am posting this for my mom and dad who were headed back to Texas after spending a few days down in Downer's Grover for a conference. I drove down there yesterday and my parents and I work on these posters last night.
This was the sign that my mom really liked. It is a poster that represents her. She is very worried about senior citizens losing their rights. Rights that she and my father, as a Vietnam vet, fought for and paid for in the last 45 years.
So Mom and Dad, this photo is for you
Mom and Dad also liked this one too.
More pictures to follow.

When I returned to the village, everyone was still awake, so I reported the situation of the war.
「 Listen, everyone. The empire collapsed overnight, and Sensei and the boys turned King Orc and now humans 」
「 Seriously? Everyone's back to human? Amazing
「 Aya-chan, Ki-kun became human again. Congrats 」
「 Yeah, I'm very happy 」
The girls hug each other, making a lovely picture.
On the other hand, the orcs hugging each other is NG.
Ikemen and Nanami also express joy with a passionate kiss.
Now then, I look for Yukari as she's not present.
She's on a vacant room. She's gently patting the sleeping Umi.
「 Welcome back. How did it go? 」
「 The four look human now 」
「 I see. What about the Almerians? Were they able to escape? 」
「 They escaped to safety 」
「 Okay 」
Now then, I need to please her. I meant: I have to please her.
I'll go directly.
「 Do you not want to hear about how I found Izuha-chan dead and Claude resurrected her? 」
Yukari opened her eyes wide. Then she holds my hand. Then, she stared at my face.
「 Details please 」
「 Do you want to hear the details? 」
Yukari nods.
I explain in details.
「 I found Izuha-chan's corpse by Almeria's transfer gate. I knew that there's a possibility of resurrecting someone a day after death, so I decided to freeze her in ice. Then, I begged priest Claude to use his resurrection magic then. The two got along and transferred to the armed state holding hands. Happy ending 」
The story I dramatized seems to be fantastic that it echoed in Yukari's heart.
「 I'm glad. I'm really glad 」
Yukari's smile shows the color of excitement.
I heard that exaggerating military exploits is natural. It's okay, right?
Then, I explained and tested the new skill "Increase pleasure (XL)"
Yukari's showing a lewd expression, but it turned to a look of pain after the start.
「 Wait 」
I just inserted it.
「 What's up? 」
「 Sorry. You used it all, right? 」
「 Yeah 」
「 It's only nothing but inexpressible pain. Perhaps. The pleasure is going beyond. Put it in once more. Slowly this time 」
I slowly thrust in as I was told.
「 Ah, I can't. It doesn't feel good at all. It's only painful. Too much pain. The type you can't bear 」
She twists her hips and expresses her pain.
Wow. The shock is greater than I thought. I don't need you "Increase pleasure (XL)"
Well, I can use this for torturing or on cheating women. Greydia might like it. She's a pervert after all.
「 Then, let's use the three that Yukari likes when having sex 」
「 That's also good but, don't you want my breasts as thanks for Izuha-chan? 」
Of course, there's no other reply to that.
「 I'd love to 」
No. Helping people is really nice.
Yukari puts on her cardigan.
Then, she sandwiches my penis in between her breasts.
Munyuuuuuu. Surisuri.
Tapu Tapu Tapu.
Then, she puts my glans in her mouth and licks it.
「 Did you practice? 」
I asked. She nods.
I wonder how she does practice Paizuri.
Tapu tapu tapu tapu.
The relaxed pleasure is intoxicating.
It's a pleasure I'd like to experience for hours.
Then, Yukari who worked hard for a long time turns red and lets go of my glans from her mouth.
That's a lewd popping sound.
「 Are you not feeling good? You don't like you're about to cum anytime soon 」
「 I don't feel like cumming but keep on going, it feels good 」
「 If it feels good then I'll do my best 」
She puts my glans in her mouth and licks it.
The pleasure of stroking my rod with her breasts is heavenly.
Churu, jurururu.
Tapu tapu tapu.
We continue our activity as I use recovery on Yukari who shows tiredness.
Yukari continued to serve me until morning, and I finally poured it into her womb.
「 Nnn, I'm tired 」
「 Then I'll use recovery 」
「 Thanks 」
「 Whee 」
Yukari lies down on the bed wearing only a thin cardigan.
I hold her chin and keep using recovery.
Yukari stretches herself and talks to me.
「 Hey, do you know the hero of Garland Blue? The one that ended in the bad end? 」
「 I don't know the details but, it's the story where the demons ended betraying him 」
Then, his woman was taken away.
「 Yes, that. That also makes me curious. Isn't the two too suspiciously friendly? What do you think? 」
「 There's no problem in particular. They look like cool demons with no duplicity 」
「 Is that so? Then that's okay. Look, this world deceived us multiple times, right? I was working freely just recently, that's why it makes me worry, sorry about that 」
「 No, there's nothing wrong in being careful. I think that's a good thing 」
Yukari got up and kissed me lightly. Then she started wearing clothes.
I thought that the room is cold, so I warmed it up with fire magic.
That's a pleasant temperature. It feels 25℃.
I change the topic.
「 Do you want to go to the armed state after sleeping? It's quite close if we use Almeria's transfer gate 」
「 Agreed, I want to meet Izuha-chan 」
I have to take care of the girls too.
First, as Mira's man. Then, I also need to keep on pumping Turna's hormones, so her breasts grow bigger. It's troublesome if I can't play with Chris' exquisite pussy. Also, it's about time I do anal with Greydia, or she'll run to another man.
Fufu, I'm getting busy. My dick's craving.
「 Then, I'll sleep first. You should rest too 」
She goes "you again" I need to advise her as her husband.
「 I want you to call me by my name, I don't want "you" 」
「 I-It's embarrassing to say it this late though 」
「 Please, I'll call you by your name too 」
For some reason, her face turns red.
「 Takuma 」
「 Nice. Good girl 」
Now then, time to sleep.
I indulge in inactivity until morning. Freedom's the best.
We let go of our consciousness while holding hands.
A woman's voice woke me up.
It's a familiar voice. One I hear a lot.
「 And then. They were gone in three days. It seems that she worked three times more in the royal palace 」
「 It's an event where she came back full of spirits 」
「 Yes that. Her skin was so smooth, and she was smiling. 」
Umu, I'll sleep a bit longer. I feel like things are gonna go wrong if I wake up now. Joining the conversation between neighbors from the kindergarten is reckless.
Someday, I'd like to flirt with the three of us.
I want to play with those apples and melons until satisfied. Well, I can do them individually at any time. For now, I'll sleep again. Good night.
I feel the weight in my chest upon waking up.
My beloved daughter's sitting on me.
Looking at the culprit, she gently looks away.
I get up and greet Umi. I give her light pecks.
「 It's already noon 」
It's Naomi.
「 Should we bring Umi together? 」
「 Of course, I made her feel lonely. Let's move together 」
「 As long as she's safe 」
「 I'll protect her, so it's okay 」
Saying that Yukari deploys six flame magic.
She shows a self-satisfied look.
But, I can do the same as my mana increased to 50 now.
Her smug look turns to a suggestive look. Then, her eyes became thin like a fox.
「 I thought that Takuma's ability is useless except for lewd things 」
「 I know 」
「 Isn't that just unfair? 」
That's how Yukari sees it.
Now then, time to get up.
I embrace Yukari and sandwich Umi in between.
For some reason, Umi doesn't understand this happiness, so she cries.
You're making Yukari angry.
I use cleansing on my whole body.
Now I'm all ready. Magic is all-purpose.
I receive a stacked lunch box from a woman.
「 I put in rice balls there. Fuhihi 」
The girl laughed has cooking skills, she could start a restaurant when she returns to Japan. Full of hopes and dreams.
Not to mention the high orcs always grind levels, so food doesn't pile up.
Someone even kicked a soccer ball group from somewhere. Then, groups who talks about dreams and groups who speak about manga. Oh! There's also a group that's confessing. I'm rooting for you guys. Forcibly thrust it in.
Those who have skills only look at their manga. Raising cheers. It seems to be an eat-all-you-can meal. I'm worried that I'll get fat.
That lively scene is thrilling, but Yukari's looking outside, worried.
「 Hurry up. Let's go! 」
「 Yes, yes! 」
I left the village trotting.
The trip was easy.
Yukari releases fire magic once she sees a monster.
Does it have homing capabilities?
The watermelon-sized fireball draws an arc and burns the monsters.
「 Gigyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 」
Yukari doesn't even glance at the burning dead goblins.
I also threw a fireball, but it didn't hit, so I blew them away with explosion magic.
「 You goblin, to think that you could avoid my attacks over and over. You're good. But, die 」
A roaring sound and flame dances, the field is burst with hot air.
Yukari's disarranged long black hair is so magnificent that I'd like to take a photo of it.
「 Was that explosion magic? Isn't it a bit too powerful? 」
「 It's strengthened with skills 」
「 Muu 」
Fufufu, I win. Even if I can't pop them with flame magic, I can burn the whole ground instead.
The problem is that Umi's scared and she doesn't stop crying.
The flame continues until the earth is black.
Almeria's royal capital can be seen from a distance.
The outer wall's broken. Soldier's are standing in the vicinity, preventing the invasion of monsters.
We come back to the kingdom through the broken main gate.
When we reached the magic guild, everyone greeted Yukari.
「 We were worried about you young lady. Your stone was gone, we thought that you were dead 」
「 Kaaaaaa. Seriously, you haven't said a word. Don't let old people worry 」
Then, Izuha-chan jumps to Yukari's chest.
Breasts. Bounce.
What a passionate reunion. Words were unnecessary. Is that what it is?
Then, she told those who don't know that I'm her husband as I carry Umi.
She's suddenly excited to be in Papa's chest. She seems to be in a good mood.
I'm not good with serious talk, so I sit down on a nicely shaped rock and look at the sky.
The clouds move slowly.
The magician's bonds are deep that they're happy to see each after a long time.
Then, it's time for the sorrow before restoration.
Some people shed tears, some are at a loss.
Then, an individual person walked towards me.
「 Oh my, why are you here Takuma? You seem to be taking it leisurely sitting over there? 」
「 Takuma. It's Turna 」
「 Turna. I'm talking 」
「 Ha 」
Turna looks cheerful.
Chris stares at me. The people around are on their knees, bowing their heads.
The only one who's not kneeling to Chris is the old man and me. Yukari's already on her knees.
(I believe you would come)
(I had no choice, I want to see Chris)
(Thanks. Then, could you wait there, I need a favor)
(Is it sex?)
(If you beg me then I'll play with you)
My mental conversation with Chris has ended.
Chris' objective wasn't just me, but the magicians in the guild.
She requested the magicians around for restoration.
「 Priest. Please. I'll give you a kiss on the cheek. I'll keep on poking your weak side on the belly until you agree 」
「 N-No first would be the restoration of the magic guild, the streets and then. Hau hau hau 」
「 Princess, a bit lower 」
「 Thanks, Turna. Ei 」
「 Hauuu 」
「 Just another breath away 」
Looks fun. I want to join too.
Then, Yukari hugs Umi.
「 Then, I'll check the damage on my house. It feels like it's completely destroyed though. If there's a souvenir left there, then I'll bring it 」
「 Take care 」
I wave my hand.
Yukari also waved her hand.
And it seems that Chris has triumphantly won the battle against the magic guild.
The old man's leaking a happy voice.
Then, Chris comes after a while.
「 Thanks for the wait 」
A beauty with golden curly hair.
「 What I want you to do is medical treatment for the poor. Recovery 」
「 After that, three times? 」
「 Fufu. Sure. But, only after you cured all the injured and sick. You can embrace me as much you want. Oh, wait. That would go wrong. Let's see, you can do me as you wish until the restoration's settled down 」
「 I'll do my best 」
「 Turna, come with him 」
「 Ha 」
After saying all that, Chris leaves elegantly.
I immediately press Turna forward.
「 Let's hurry up and finish this 」
「 Takuma seems reliable today 」
It seems it's showing on my face.
『 First Princess Christina free treatment charity 』
I activate recovery on a place that's just a roof.

from Colonel Mustard
I could recite the litany of mistakes and poor execution from this game, but that is a broken record from this season and this staff is powerless to correct them. However for the first time in my life I saw a lineman shift into the neutral zone and a fifth-year senior at that. And beyond the poor tackling angles and the lack of adjustment to force K-State to pass, we get another punt blocked up the middle and have three guys in position to down a punt and miss for the second time this year. It is hard to talk about and difficult to watch. I don't know who these guys are, but that is not Nebraska football in my experience. And don't kid yourselves -- this is the worst Nebraska team in well over 40 years. We were bad in the '50s, but back then we didn't have this level of commitment.
Enough on the latest of what has become a season of disasters and me erasing game tapes. What happens now? If I did my job as poorly as Frank has done this year, I would expect to be fired. Having said that, I think he should have a chance to fix his staff problem. However, after Saturday I would be surprised but I can't tell you disappointed if he was let go. Byrne has to force massive staff changes on Frank if he is unwilling to make them. I would replace everyone but Gill and Brown -- although the way our QB has played this year you can't help but wonder about Gill. But as I said, I would retain those two guys and give one of them the chance to be offensive coordinator. Hopefully Steele is in town by this Sunday noon after Baylor's last game. I hope we will move quickly to get the new staff in place and they would have a chance to coach the team in the bowl game. That would allow us to get a jump-start on next season. We are an attractive job for any assistant and should be able to get top-notch people. The staff upgrade and an overhaul of facilities are critical to getting us back on top. But we must move quickly.
We will worry about the vermin next week. We have issues of our own to deal with first. Keep the faith. GBR.
-- The Colonel

The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza by Shaun David Hutchinson — ★★★★★ — Newly Released!!
This is a book about talking Starbucks mermaids and also choices. Go figure.
The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza is like nothing I have ever read before or will ever read again. It is an existential and oddly hilarious book about choices, with a wide cast of amazing characters and some weird mystery thrown in. And I loved it so much. I felt as if I could have read this forever.
This book follows Elena Mendoza and she
causes an apocalypse is gifted the power to heal people by an unknown entity.
✔Elena is a fucking master of sassing people, has a tendency to take her friends for granted, and is so utterly lovable and relatable. Her motivation to absolve herself – to feel as if she has done everything she needs to do – is written with so much realism and empathy.
✔Freddie is a depressed cynic and a horrible driver who believes nothing is connected. Her arc involves her struggle with who she was before the shooting – is she different now? Did she deserve to be saved?
✔Fadil is Elena's rational and awesome best friend. He's religious, but also not willing to give up logic or rationale, which I feel like I never see in literature? If y'all are looking for a non-negative but also-not-the-focus representation of religion – specifically Islam! – please read this. Also possibly the ace character we all deserved?
Something I like about Shaun David Hutchinson books is that every character is dimensional. Elena, Freddie, and Fadil, of course, but even some characters in here that I disliked managed to feel like fully dimensional people.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention this romance! If you know me, you know I am 1) picky about romance, and 2) really really good at getting invested when I like both the characters. And I loved… Elena and Freddie… so much. I actually love their dynamic. I want an entire book about them sort of talking through hard issues via anger / sort of flirting at the same time. Or I could just reread this?
As usual, this is an extremely weird book plot-wise. I mean, you have a miracle performed on a crush, strange lights stealing a person, and talking starbucks mermaid – and that's just in the first 5%. There is a lot of what some Christians might consider sacrilege, but I actually found this element sort of delightfully snarky. Listen, talking unicorns making horrible jokes about Jesus while a sixteen-year-old girl becomes increasingly annoyed is basically my entire sense of humor.
This book is about a Lot Of Things– existential fear, the realization that no one is who you think they are, the realization that death is never in our souls, the importance of making choices, and most of all, the importance of free will. But listen, The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza was such an amazing reading experience for me. I wish this book would never have ended.
Bonus points for thinly veiled jokes about U.S. President Cheeto. And an-honest-god-I-am-not-joking-about-this reference to that Name Game meme from three years ago. Just A+.

text: Charles Bukowski's Nirvana revolves around a young man traveling to an undetermined destination, questioning his purpose in the world. Along the young man's aimless journey, he encounters a moment in time at a charming diner. In just that moment something is awakened inside of him, but even with a sense of purpose, sadness follows. "Nirvana" is a melancholy postcard from memories long past.

The Distinction Between The Word Proclaimed and the Word Recorded
"While the Church is scattered throughout all the world, and the pillar and ground of the Church is the Gospel and the spirit of life" - St. Irenaeus of Lyons (I stole this quote from Jared's blog)
"For in the first place the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God." - Romans 3:2
The central argument that Roman Catholicism (hereafter referred to simply as RC) bases its epistemology upon is the claim that Sola Scriptura cannot be true because the Church wrote the Bible. Thus, where the Reformers (and as aforequoted, St. Irenaeus) said that the Gospel made the Church, Tridentine RC taught the opposite. After all, how could we know the gospel if we didn't even have the New Testament canon?
1. Ontological Pre-eminance of the Word
The problem with this state of affairs is that it immediately assumes. First of all, the New Testament is a record of the teachings of Christ, his proclaimed word, through his apostles and messengers. The epistemological point must be stressed that the written record of Scripture is true and authoritative, because it faithfully represents objective events. In other words, the authority of the scriptural passage "whoever believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mk.16:16) rests upon the fact that Christ historically and objectively said this in history first, and that the Bible records it secondly. It is not St. Mark's authority that we trust in when we read this, it is the authority of Christ. It is not the case that St. Mark wrote these words and authored these ideas, it is the fact that they are Christ's words and ideas. In modern terms, if St. Mark wrote this phrase in an essay submitted to me, he would have had to cite it, because it wasn't his idea (and he'd better do it Chicago Style!)
This is summed up nicely in the Belgic Confession, which states: "the preaching of the Word of God is the Word of God". I.E. Even if no one wrote it down, the preaching of the apostles was the Word of God in oral form. In the same way that I can hum Bach's music without reading a music note, the Gospel was known in the Church even before the canon was decided, Nay! even before the Scripture was written.
This argument may sound familiar as it was used in a different form by St. Paul against the judaizers: "the law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise." (Gal. 3:17). The "promise" or the gospel which Abraham believed in, justified him (Rm 4) and existed long before a New Testament, which leads us to the next point.
2. The Gospel According To Abraham.
The Old Testament, which St. Paul reminds us, was intrusted to the Jews, is the story of Israel. Christians since the 1st century argued after St. Paul, that the Christian Church, was the True Israel. The Old Testament was a Christian book, as the apostle reminds us that all scripture speaks of Him (Christ). Isaiah 53 is a clear example of the gospel in the Old Testament. Genesis 18 was a proof-text for the Trinity.
The idea that Christians needed the Magesterium to know the Gospel or that they needed the New Testament to know the Gospel, flies in the face of all this.
For these reasons, it is wrong to say that the Church makes the Gospel. The fact that Pope Damasus oversaw a Council in Rome (382) which declared the canon of scripture, no more creates the Scripture/Gospel, than me telling my friend what I read in class, creates the book I read. It's a subversive argument that makes man the master of God's Word. The Church is ministerial, it is the servant of the Gospel, not magisterial, the master of the Gospel.

John the Baptist proclaimed and announced the Word incarnate, he in no way had authority over the Word, and was actually unworthy to even untie his sandals.ReplyDelete
Your first argument is interesting. It reminds me of my literary criticism class. I think any Catholic would agree with your statement. We know scripture to be the Word and the Word existed at the moment it was spoken by the Word made Flesh. What the Church declares is its validity. There are many other books claiming to be true gospels but both Protestants and Catholics alike reject them as not authentic. What stops these gospels from being accepted as the True Word? One can say consensus (since the majority of early Christians quoted from the four Gospels in the Canon) but that would be to concede to the logic of the Council of Rome which helped to declare that the Canon as it exists is truly Divinely inspired. As you know, the Church teaches that it is guided by the Holy Spirit to make such declarations. The guidance of councils by the Holy Spirit and the Divine inspiration of Sacred Scripture follow the same path of reason. If the claim can be made about Scripture then it can be made about the Church as well, especially if it claims to be instituted by Christ (we both know the "gates of hell" discourse). The Church as a collective of humans doesn't claim to have "made" scripture, it claims, as the Mystical Body of Christ, to have been guided by the Holy Spirit to define what is truly Divinely inspired. If this is rejected then we're left with judging the truth of Scripture by feeling alone and this ultimately leads to relativism. The Church is not the master of God's Word any more than it's the master of God Himself. The Church merely declares what is truly God's word for the benefit of the faithful (which has been a solid ground for Christian Tradition for almost 2000 years now) and in doing so serves God by doing His will on earth. If it weren't for the defining of the Canon, there would likely be far more disunity than there is today.ReplyDelete

You are here > Things To Do > Tiverton Castle
Tiverton Castle is a wonderful, romantic and atmospheric Castle to visit and great fun for children. Since it was originally built in wood in 1106 there have been a lot of changes to the building down the ages. After 1293 it was rebuilt in stone, and then changing fashions, Civil War and climate damage have dictated further changes. The moat was filled in and the land sold off many years ago; so now there are only four acres left as an oasis of calm.
Originally built in 1106 by order of Henry I, and later rebuilt and much enlarged in the 13th and 14th centuries, Tiverton Castle was once home of the powerful medieval Earls of Devon and of a Plantagenet Princess. With later additions and alterations down the centuries all periods of architecture from medieval to modern can be seen, with beautiful walled gardens within the romantic ruins.
Besieged during the English Civil War by General Sir Thomas Fairfax, it fell due to a lucky shot hitting a drawbridge chain. This was the only time in its long history that it saw battle.
Try on some English Civil War Armour and imagine what it was like to wear such heavy and cumbersome kit
Admire the different ages of architecture
Learn the history of the Castle as you go round, and see the various displays relating to it.
See the medieval garderobes (loos) originally cleaned out by children

I have seen versions of this type of cookie all over the internet and wanted to try it this year….. hoping it wasn't one of those "it's not as easy as it looks online" projects. It was surprisingly simple… thankfully.
These cookies look great on the cookie trays, adding a nice splash of colour to the cookies displayed and taste just as good as they look. They taste delicious as well. The smell when cooking was a combination of cookies, green apple and cherry and the other jolly rancher candies flavours that I used. You can still taste the different flavours once they become stained glass as well!
These are the ingredients I used to make the stained glass cookies.
To make the cookie dough, I started by creaming together the sugar, butter/margarine and cream cheese until blended.
Next came the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
And then the flour to form the dough. I let the dough chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes or so.
While the dough was in the fridge chilling, I put the different flavours of the jolly rancher candies in sandwich bags and took my little pink hammer to the bags to break the candies into pieces.
Once chilled, I rolled out the dough in batches and used my donut cutter to make the rings and hole in the centre.
I transferred the donut shape to my parchment paper lined baking sheets and baked them at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes.
I removed the pans from the oven and sprinkled different colours of the broken candy pieces into the space in the middle. You can use just one colour or you can make it mulit coloured, whatever your preference.
Then baked them for an additional 4 minutes, again at 375 degrees. You can see how cool the centres of the cookies look after the candies melting in the oven.
I let them fully cool before transferring them to a plate so that the candies in the middle reset.
And here are my really cool stained glass cookies!
Stained Glass Cookies
Preparation Time: 10 minutes Baking Time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 dozen cookies
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup butter/margarine, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- Jolly Rancher candies, about 25
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In bowl of stand mixer, cream together sugar, butter/ margarine and cream cheese until blended.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add flour to make the cookie dough and let dough chill for about 15 minutes.
- Separate candies by colour and place in sandwich bags.
- Break candies into pieces using small hammer.
- Roll dough out onto floured surface and cut with donut cutter to form circles with hole in the middle.
- Bake at 375 for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkled some of the broken candies into the space in the centre of the cookies, varying colours to suit preference.
- Return to oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Allow to completely cool before transferring to a plate to enjoy!

It's that time of the year when the best of Bollywood collaborates with the best designers and artists to shine on the red carpet at Cannes. This year has in fact only been bigger and better. The queens of Bollywood have made stellar appearances over the weekend, slaying the red carpet and making their presence with their eclectic looks and mind-blowing outfits.
While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Huma Qureshi, Diana Penty and Kangana Ranaut flaunted high-on-haute-couture looks that exuded power and confidence, Priyanka Chopra Jonas brought her A-game at the Vanity Fair after-party with husband Nick Jonas. Deepika Padukone opted for a myriad of cuts, colours and styles giving us fashion goals every time she made an appearance. Not to be left behind is B-Town's original fashionista Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, who made a late appearance at the French Riviera but has more than made up for it with her stunning outfits. Here are some of our favourite looks:

Asus to Enter Console Market with Motion Gaming
by 31 May, 2011 5:15 pm4
Asus has partnered up with Primesense to produce and design the Asus WAVI Xtion game console.
Primesense is an Israeli based company that helped design the Kinect, which is Microsoft's motion gaming peripheral for the Xbox 360.
The WAVI Xtion game console is very similar to the Kinect in form and function, but will be utilized much differently by Asus. Asus plans to completely replace gaming consoles by packaging the WAVI Xtion device with full PC support. The WAVI Xtion game console will connect a computer to a television by broadcasting full HD digital content wirelessly between a receiver and transmitter.
The Xtion will allow consumers to navigate their PC via a television using motion sensing controls- completely eliminating the need for a standard remote. Much like competing game consoles the Xtion will also offer full PC gaming and tailored motion game support. This means users will be able to play several motion control games designed specifically for the Xtion, as well as play modern PC games on a television using motion controls (future plans).
Of course the Xtion will also offer full multimedia browsing and playback support, which ultimately means consumers will be able to browse their hard drive for videos, music and media using motion controls. All that media can be played, just as it would on a standard computer, only the media will play via the connected television.
So instead of setting up a bulky HDPC or relying on gaming consoles for substandard and limited PC features; everyone will now be able to take full advantage of a PC while sitting on the living room couch.
Asus WAVI Xtion Game Console
The Asus WAVI Xtion game console was unveiled at Computex 2011 (May 30) in Taipei, Taiwan. Asus has not revealed a pricing plan or MSRP for the Xtion nor have they released information as to if or when the device will release in North America.
The Asus WAVI Xtion game console will ship with three bundled games all designed to show off its motion sensing capabilities; MayaFit, Beat Booster and DanceWall.
But individual success will likely depend on external support for the device as with most gaming consoles. Third party developers will need to adopt the Xtion and create additional games and software in order for it to become a game changer.
In addition to gaming and media the Xtion will also offer full social network application and internet support. An integrated browser will allow consumers to surf the internet and social networks interactively via motion sensing controls.
Not to mention the numerous unlisted applications and intuitive uses for such a device. If third parties certainly do adopt the Xtion, consumers will likely see an endless supply of new features and applications.
The Asus Wavi Xtion Game Console Has Potential
The Asus WAVI Xtion game console connects to the related PC through USB and to the corresponding television via HDMI, and broadcasts up to 25 feet away at a 5GHz bandwidth. Asus advertises that the high bandwidth is enough to support a full 1080p high definition signal without serious lag issues.
Asus will also be launching an online store front rightfully called the [email protected] store or simply the Xtion Portal that will offer on demand media and gaming options.
It sounds like Asus has all the bases covered and plans to directly compete with Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. Only time will tell if Asus is truly worthy of entering the gaming market.
The Asus WAVI Xtion game console certainly has the potential to satisfy all serious PC gamers, and will definitely offer features that consumers have been waiting for since the console gaming industry began.

Asus WAVI Xtion Game Console Discussion
Are you looking forward to the release of the Asus WAVI Xtion in North America? Are you a developer interested in designing applications and games for this new console? Do you just plain think the console will fail horribly against competition? Please come join the discussion and let us know all your thoughts, opinions and predictions in the dedicated Asus WAVI Xtion game console forum thread.
Comments (4)
The PC is the ultimate gaming and entertainment platform because it is so flexible and open if you know what you're doing. With the advent of PC-friendly HDTVs as well as extenders and innovative input devices (the WAVI Xtion looks like an excellent marriage of extender and input device), we can really squeeze even more functionality out of our PCs. Who needs an Xbox 360 or a Wii when this thing is available?
The one thing still lacking is a universal remote control that can also serve keyboard and mousing functions through the extender.
If I read it right, the receiver have 2 USB port´s, so you can swhitch an usb media keyborad wireless and you have the perfect sistem to "play" in your HDTV… Hope it work´s and developers support it
This is actually a brilliant idea. They knew people don't usually keep PCs with the HDTV, so they enabled it through WiFi. Asus also knows that Sony and Microsoft have left a vacuum in the PC market and I really believe that the biggest spenders and the most hard core gamers are on the PC platform.
this sounds great http://www.128bpm.in

It was only a matter of time.
When it emerged people on Twitter had been shouting "Parklife!" at Russell Brand, it became the best thing to happen last week. Parodies were made, people did mashup videos of Blur and Brand and the man himself even tweeted acknowledgement.
But now he's gone one step further by covering the song with hip hop comedy duo The Rubberbandits – the ones who wear plastic bags on their heads.
Here's a taste of the lyrics:
Verbal dexterity plus estuary accent is what leads to parody of
But words used efficently can be a dangerous tool that slices through propaganda like a
We can't get our heads around the fact that five families have as much dough as 12 million Brits, that can't be right in any accent
You can't be polysyllabic or talk about important things unless you went to school in a top hat and tails
You'll have to watch the video for the rest.
And in case you hadn't seen people taking the mickey last week, here's one of the best Vine mashups courtesy of BuzzFeed's Alan White.
What do you make of Brand's parody? The best way to reply, or has he just killed the joke completely? Let us know in the comments.
Update: we got some of the lyrics wrong - thanks to those who corrected us.

Using folders in SharePoint could be a good thing. Microsoft recommends using folders for large lists or libraries. But sometimes we do not want folders in a list or library. So, the first thing to do is, hiding the "New Folder"-entry from the New-menu in the toolbar of the library. This could easily be done in the advanced settings.
By setting this option to "No", the entry "New Folder" will not appear in the New-menu.
Cool, but what shall we do, when a user opens the library using his Windows Explorer? From there, he can right-click and choose New > Folder. So we can prevent creating folders via the web interface, but this has no effect using other utilities.
When you ask Google, what to do to prevent creating folders, you may find results saying to use an event handler and implement the ItemAdding-event. Just look for the content type in the AfterProperties and if it is "Folder" just cancel further processing.
I investigated the properties-parameter in the ItemAdding-event in several situations, but I never saw a content type in the AfterProperties. But I saw another interesting thing: when a document should be added, we have a value for a property named "vti_filesize" in the AfterProperties. When a folder is created, this property is missing.
So, a possible option could be, to look for the vti_filesize-property in the AfterProperties, when handling the ItemAdding-event. So the ItemAdding-method could look like this:
After deploying our assembly to the Global Assembly Cache, we just have to register the event-handler in our library. That's all.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom to check out the trend style guide – everything is under $100!
We are now on week five of my favorite Spring 2014 trends. Last week was "Sheer Bliss" which showcased gauzy fabrics that add a touch of romance and femininity to any wardrobe. So what is my final Spring 2014 trend that I will be highlighting? Let's put it this way – it was something I was super excited about sharing because it brought back some serious nostalgia.
Two words: Time Travel. For all of you who grew up in the 80s and 90s, we are going to be channeling our inner young girl. The "Time Travel" trend takes us back to when things were totally awesome.
When checking out the Spring 2014 runway shows, I saw a few trends that really stood out to me: crop tops, denim on denim, overalls, neon and yes – even jelly shoes or "Jellies". After reflecting on the research I conducted, I came to the conclusion that each of these components have a common denominator. These trends are all reminiscent of the late 20th century.
Now don't fret – I cannot imagine frosted tips or stick-on earrings will come back around anytime soon! But make a statement with neon colors, rock your crop top and throw on some overalls – because this Spring we are in for a radical ride!
Below are some of my favorite looks from the Spring 2014 runway.
Love these looks! I am especially a sucker for anything neon – the brighter the better! Below is a shopping guide of some fun pieces I found while doing some "virtual window shopping". Everything is under $100 so you can achieve the runway look for less. Enjoy!
