Lost continent found in Indian Ocean, scientists say there are more
It's not Atlantis, but it's still fascinating.
Researchers say they have found evidence of a lost continent in the Indian Ocean. The find reveals just how little we sometimes know about our ancient history. The continent was lost to history when researchers say it sank beneath the waves. They also add that there may be more lost continents out there.
Scientists have new evidence of this shortcoming after studying sand taken from the beaches of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
Mixed with the common sand of the beach, were crystals of zircon that much older than the sand on the beaches. Mauritius formed as a result of volcanic activity about 660 million years ago. The crystals however, are nearly two billion years old. Explaining how they got there has led researchers on a hunt which revealed the existence of a lost continent.
The lost continent which they have dubbed "Mauritia" still remains in chunks on the ocean floor. The continent was formed about two billion years ago when magma welled up from the ocean floor. It was once part of a the same landmass that is now India and Madagascar. However, as the Indian Ocean grew and India, Africa, and Madagascar parted, Mauritia sank beneath the waves.
All that's left now are grains of sand on the beach, the result of natural erosion over time.
Experts do not believe there is a likely other source for the crystals and say they are fairly certain in the conclusion.
What's more interesting is they believe that many more lost continents may exist on the sea floor. Evidence for those continents comes from gravitational anomalies in the Earth's crust. Some parts of the sea floor have greater gravitational pull than surrounding areas, which suggests the sea floor is much thicker than in other places.
That thickness likely comes from continental crusts which have sank beneath the waves in prehistoric times. If so, then it reveals that we have much more to learn about the Earth and our prehistoric past than ever imagined.

It is well known that there did exist on the western part of India in Bombay/Gujarat a city of Krisn'a that is said to have gone under the sea & this destruction probably came through the the flood at the time of Noe, when continents had not fully separated & to see some of its structures still standing under water is to say it would not have taken the millions/trillions years of the scientist, for tectonic plate shiftings could have been much more variable than is believed, however Biblically such findings(the Altantis of Francis becon ?) do in a way reflect to the days of Noe coming again.

"Experts do not believe there is a likely other source for the crystals and say they are fairly certain in the conclusion."
Any "expert" who claims to be "fairly certain" in his speculations on things that happened billions of years ago is an egomaniac not worth a second's notice. There are "experts" who claim to be "fairly certain" that a historical Jesus is mere fiction, even though all the written and archeological evidence available suggests otherwise.
"Evidence for those continents comes from gravitational anomalies in the Earth's crust."
Gravitational "anomalies" in the earth's crust? Pray tell, how exactly does one accurately measure slight differences in the force of gravity in locations that are thousands of feet underwater and subject to pressures many orders of magnitudes higher than the force of gravity? I doubt the depth of the sea could even be measured with the accuracy necessary to draw such a conclusion. Perhaps the same set of "fairly certain experts" came up with this one. -

Just in case someone reading this comment section looks at the remarks by Ranganathan and thinks that all Catholics are as ignorant and arrogant about science as the very small minority he represents I have decided to post some scientific truth:
The age of the universe is 13.772 billion years according to current mapping of residual microwave energy as recorded in Bennett, C.L.; Larson, L.; Weiland, J.L.; Jarosk, N.; Hinshaw, N.; Odegard, N.; Smith, K.M.; Hill, R.S. et al. (December 20, 2012). Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Final Maps and Results
The Earth is 4.54 billion years old, as determined by "Age of the Earth". U.S. Geological Survey. 1997
The earliest hominid species was Homo Habilis, which evolved 2.3 million years ago. The first hominid to leave Africa was Homo Erectus 1.3 million years ago. Homo Sapian, the species of human whose anatomical features would be familiar to us, evolved around 250,00 years ago. They migrated out of Africa 100,000 years ago - according to Stringer, C.B. (1994). "Evolution of Early Humans". In Steve Jones, Robert Martin & David Pilbeam. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Human Evolution. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. p. 242
Please rest assured that Ranganathan's ideas have no basis in scientific fact or a proper understanding of Sacred Scripture. -

Indian doctors to appeal against Quit UK order
February 10, 2007
LONDON: With the careers of 15,000 Indian doctors and medical students in the UK hanging in the balance, an association on Saturday said it would file an appeal in court on Monday to seek a stay on a new immigration law abolishing permit-free training for overseas doctors, mainly Indians. Ramesh Mehta, president of the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO), told, "We have decided to file an appeal in the Appeals Court on Monday against the judgment of the High Court and seek a stay order on the new regulation.

79% of doctors with foreign degrees fail screening test
December 8, 2012
Kounteya Sinha , TNN
NEW DELHI: The obsession of earning a foreign medical degree is proving costly for Indian students. Thousands of newly-anointed Indian doctors, who completed their medical degrees abroad, are failing en masse for the past four years in clearing the mandatory screening test that allows them to practice in India. Only 21% (around one in five) students who received foreign medical degrees and appeared in the screening test qualified this year. In 2011 and 2010, only 26% medical students qualified, while the corresponding figure was only 16.2% in 2009.
PG med from 5 countries good enough: Govt
August 5, 2007
Kounteya Sinha , TNN
NEW DELHI: Planning to pursue post-graduate medical education abroad? Better head for countries like US, UK, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. In a move, that has already drawn stiff resistance from the Medical Council of India, the Union health ministry is planning to recognise all post-graduate medical degrees awarded in these five countries. If the ministry manages to push through this proposal, all doctors who have completed their undergraduate medical education (MBBS)
1,333 doctors migrated abroad last year
May 14, 2012
Kounteya Sinha , TNN
NEW DELHI: While India faces an acute shortage of trained medical manpower, as many as 1,333 doctors migrated to foreign shores over the last one year. During the same period, the previous year - from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 - 1,157 doctors had migrated in search of employment, and between 2009 and 2010, 1,458 doctors went abroad. This latest revelation by Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday comes just days after he had said that doctors going to the US for higher medical studies will now have to sign a bond with the ministry before leaving and honour the document by returning home after finishing the study period.
Docs with foreign PG set to get govt's nod
July 21, 2008
Kounteya Sinha , TNN
NEW DELHI: In a bid to allow Indian doctors practising abroad to return and plug the acute shortage in healthcare back home, the government may soon recognize postgraduate medical degrees of 10 foreign countries. Degrees from France, Germany, Russia, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Singapore, South Africa and Spain are under consideration, which will allow Indian doctors settled in these countries to return home and practise without even a physical verification, health ministry officials said.
Govt makes it harder for doctors to stay on in US
September 10, 2012
Kounteya Sinha , TNN
NEW DELHI: In a bid to prevent medical students who go to the US for higher studies from settling down there, the health ministry has suspended issuing 'no obligation to return' certificates that allow them to do so. In the past three years, 3,000 medical students have gone abroad and stayed there. India has one doctor per 2,000 people; the US has one for 469. The 'no obligation to return to India' (NORI) certificate is mandatory for Indian doctors who have completed up to nine years of medical education to settle in the US. Ironically, before they head there, the US requires the health ministry (of all developing countries)
Govt nod to foreign medical degrees

NEW DELHI: Indian doctors with post-graduate (PG) medical degrees from UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand can now practise in India in any public or private hospital. They can also be a faculty member in any medical college and teach under-graduate students. In a major decision that will allow Indian doctors settled in foreign countries to return home, the health ministry has officially recognised PG medical degrees from these five countries. So far, doctors who had completed their under-graduate medical education (MBBS)

Everything was good. $29/day valet parking was a surprise, but we had no choice. Hotel.com should note this so customers will know.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very pleasant"
Overall, I thought the room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel was very pleasant. I didn't realize that valet parking was really the only way to park without walking a bit; although, the valet service was well done. The room was a little worn around the edges, but they had a discreet sign in the lobby stating they were renovating. I was charmed […] by the small painting in the bathroom of the butterflies and a summer sky. I slept very comfortably and well rested. I would definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Contrary to several reviewers who claim that valet parking is the only option, we parked in the same garage the valets do for $9 less per day, and it was a whole 2 minute walk from the hotel. Event-free check in. Room (King Superior) was simple but certainly served the purpose. Fridge included. Never turned on the large flat-screen TV. The clock radio […] did not include a dock for an MP3 player, nor did it include a cable for one. Odd in 2013. The painting on the ceiling of the bathroom was worth the price of admission. Room service for breakfast was very quick and very good. We were here for a show at the Civic Auditorium, about 100 yards away. Saw no ghosts, but maybe one has to pay extra for that. Absolutely would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place"
My room was a little small but the interior, amenities, and decor made up for the space. :)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay - Needs better parking"
I've heard other guests say their room was small but they put me in a wheelchair accessible room. A king bed instead of a queen? A larger room? Sure, I'll take it. The bathroom was huge, the bed was comfy, the hotel itself is really cute. I'm not a big fan of L'occitane products but they've got 'em if you like 'em. The parking situation is kinda bad. […] For $20 you can park down the street in the parking garage and huff it all the way to the hotel with your luggage or for $30 you can do valet. I chose valet and it was worth it. Anyway, you could do a lot worse in downtown San Jose and I liked the Sainte Claire. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Unbeatable location, needs some improvements"
If you have any business or sight-seeing to do in downtown San Jose, the location and neighborhood of the hotel is hard to beat. Very convenient to the convention center, and the light rail can take you to other cities up the Peninsula. The parking fee is a bit steep, but I was often able to find street parking or cheap surface lots that were close […] by (if you don't mind the security risk). The hotel itself is certainly showing signs of age, and the room I had was somewhat cramped and rough at the edges, but everything worked just fine and it was still reasonably comfortable. Noise from the hall or the floor above can be heard easily, so I would suggest getting a room on a higher floor. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very fancy!"
We were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the hotel. Although our room was right across from the elevator, it wasn't loud. A few things that were disappointing were the fact that their reception desk seemed very overwhelmed/busy. They really could have used an additional person working behind the desk. It was frustrating to have a woman cut […] me in line and then grab the only available room (without a reservation) and then 2 minutes later I was told I had to wait 30 minutes before my reserved room was ready. Since it was 90 minutes after check-in time, I complained and was given the room right outside the elevator. I was told it was an upgrade to a King, but it was just a Queen. While our dinner (room service) was absolutely delicious, the breakfast wasn't. Who serves toast with no butter? The description didn't match what I got on my plate. I was charged for 2 valet parking by mistake... it frustrated me that I didn't have a chance to review the bill before I paid or I wouldn't have had to wait for a refund for their mistake. All in all I really enjoyed the stay, I just wanted them to know some small things that they need to work on. I will definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Old fashioned elegance"
Very easy valet service for $29...right downtown...within a block or two of plenty of nice restaurants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Classy Old Hotel but may have seen better days"
I liked the St Claire. It was built in 1926 and the lobby and common areas remind me of a time when hotels had much more character. I had a room on the 5th floor that overlooked a parking lot. The room itself was much less grand than the main floor. It was spacious enough, had free wireless Internet but the bed itself seemed pretty old and I could feel […] the springs. It also kind of smelled like old people. Since I'm a business traveller, I've experienced everything from classic 5 star service and amenities to bedbugs that have chased me out of hotels. The St. Claire falls at the higher end of the spectrum. I would stay here again - the staff is nice, it's conveniently located in the heart of San Jose and on the same block as Original Joes for dinner. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stayed in San Jose to See Winchester House"
Staff and Service was great, Room felt stuffy a little small and the air condition was very loud. Room Decor very nice and bed was comfortableGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A hotel with style!"
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It is nice to stay somewhere that has some history rather than the typical chain hotel. The foyer , great room and the hallway suggest the elegance of another era. We ate at the Italian restaurant in the hotel. It was some of the best Italian food that we have ever had.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
very comfortable. nice soft mattress. stained carpet though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel with a lot of character but some flaws."
Lovely 87 year old hotel with a grand room off the lobby; its highlights are a large fireplace and beautifully decorated ceiling. The ol' gal also has handsome railings throughout its stairs. Though our room was well appointed with decorative furniture pieces, drapery and bedding, it was small, almost feeling cramped. The bathroom was again small, looking […] a bit worn (chipped tub) but nicely decorated (check out the ceiling). These are minor inconveniences in my book since we do not spend a lot of time in our room other than to sleep and bathe. The real problem were the "thin" walls that allowed us to hear every word of conversation coming from our neighboring room. Fortunately for us it was only a one-time occurrence early one morning. The staff was friendly, accommodating and readily accessible. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"close to many restaurants and cafes"
Convenient to most of San Jose including airport. Many restaurants within steps. Somewhat of a homeless issue around downtown San Jose.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Beautiful lobby area with marble & dark woodwork. Nice sitting area off the reception desk with comfy sofas & chairs. Our room was on the small for two DOUBLE beds. Not much space to store luggage. Front desk personnel were very friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Historic hotel, excellent location, pricey parking"
Friendly staff, historic hotel with lots of character. The room was a bit small, some wear that was somewhat acceptable because of the age of the hotel. The wood sink countertops added a nice touch but they had some wear. I don't know if it's because I booked through Expedia, but our room had a view of the rooftop and air conditioning system. You also […] need to add $29/day to the price of the room for parking which is typical of most downtown hotels. Very convenient hotel if you are attending any functions that are taking place at Cesar Chavez Park, Center for the Performing Arts, Convention Center (all 3 across the street) and San Jose State (4 blocks) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"In the heart of Downtown San Jose"
I enjoyed staying in the Sainte Claire Hotel. I love the feel of a small hotel. The service was impeccable and the room was comfortable. Bathroom was a bit small and old but charming.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice and Friendly"
The wife and I needed a place to stay since we were spending the evening with friends out in San Padro Square/Market. The staff were friendly and inviting. Quick and efficient getting us from the car into check-in. We booked last minute online through Hotels.com and were upgraded to a larger room that over looked the park across the street. The rooms […] were clean and fresh. The mural, color and lighting in the bathroom mimicked natural light, my first thought was if there was a skylight until I entered the bathroom. The value was incredible compared to other hotels in the area. Needless to say, we will be booking with them again on our next evening out in Downtown San Jose. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice, but not for business travelers"
No outlets in room for computer/mobile devices, non-existent coffee service before restaurant opens at 7am and very small/ limited scope fitness center.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Last minute change. Hotels.com saved the day!"
It was great. i love staying downtown san jose. This is great hotel in a great locaiton.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Business trip"
Dinner was okay. breakfast was good. Quiet, clean and comfortable rooms. Easy access to freeways. Would stay again. Only issue was the server for breakfast was really inexperienced. He was not timely with any aspect of the meal. He forgot every request & disappeared for long periods to who knows where. The only thing he was prompt with was the bill […] .

"Historic hotel"
Beautiful hotel. Wasn't too updated so I think it was trying to maintain the historic vibe.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great service!"
We made a pit stop in San Jose before our final destination. Myself, my husband, and our 9 month old son. We utilized the valet service in Lou of street parking, we forgot our stroller (the bulky ergo 3rd wheeler) in our car. Valet service went and retrieved the stroller and brought it straight to our room in a matter of minutes! We had a great view […] and the bathroom was huge! Only complaints were that the tub wasn't clean enough, there were brown marks coming from the tub jets and the tv channel list didn't note a guide channel... Endless scanning. Would stay again, really nice location and service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It was okay."
The staff was very kind and attentive. The room was ok. The carpet had two large stains, the ironing board was broken as well as the iron, and the bath tub had some damage. The staff took care of it immediately and were extremely friendly and apologetic. I've stayed at the Fairmont and the Montgomery which I feel are both better choices. If I could […] I would give the overall rating a 3.75. It's not that it was bad it just did not meet my expectations at the price point I paid. I would best describe the property as a little tired. Location and staff are both superb! I travel about once a month and spend approximately 30-45 days per year in 4 and 5 star properties in my travels. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Historic, affordable and convenient"
I stay here whenever I stay in San Francisco. The place has a real historic charm, the rooms are fine, but not fancy and the staff is helpful. Don't be put off by the Tenderloin setting - it is not much different from any other big city's downtown and there are lots of good restaurants and coffee houses within blocks. I will go back!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great overnight stay!"
We were there for one night and were pleased with our stay. I loved the old school charm of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the room and bathroom were somewhat small but we didn't spend much time there so it wasn't a big deal really. I felt the rate was very reasonable comapared to rates of other surrounding hotels. The staff was friendly and […] very helpful. The restaurant was very nice, the food was good. We'd stay there again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Right down town, expensive to park."
The hotel was nice and had great service and was within walking distance to many resteraunt choices. The front desk was very helpful in helping us find a place to eat and how to get to the airport in the morning. It is an older hotel and shows this is some small ways, some good and some not as good. That being said everything worked and the room was […] clean. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall good but noisy"
I loved it there just the people next door were very loud and the valet parking took about 40 min to get my car but due to the fact there was only 1 person working it they should of thought it over since there was a concert at the convention centerGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Nice Hotel."
Two thumbs up. Great location and a very clean room. Two thumbs up.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great service ! Older nice hotel , the bed was fabulous Very comfortable ! Self parking was across the street Only provided Valet parking . I would stay there again when in San Jose ca !Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"It's Worth It"
Nice older hotel, with a good price. Walking distance to servel places to eat and shop.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent Location"
This hotel is within walking distances to many sites in San Jose, clubs specially, saving you risking a DUI or a taxi fare, so, I strongly recomend it. I don't think it has a pool, so probably a longer stay might not be as fun, but for a day or two, totally go for it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Solid Location with Great Local Flavor"
If you're looking for a non-chain hotel with some unique history along with a few nicks and scratches, this is your place. The room size was just fine and offered an old school take on the cookie cutter styles of the chains found near by. The staff was courteous and approachable the price very competitive. I would highly recommend this place when staying […] in San Jose. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice hotel but the 2 double beds needs a bigger room.....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good stay for those goin to convention centerGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect Location"
The location was perfect and customer service great, along with an average room in comfort and cleanliness. Only complaint, they do not have parking other than Valet, which is quite expensive.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice stay"
From the front desk to the valet everything about my stay at the The Sainte Claire was just amazing. The rooms are classic with a modern twist and would definitely recommend anybody coming into San Jose to stay here.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice boutique hotel."
Very pretty older hotel. rooms are small but nicely done. Staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great in San Jose"
A high end hotel at a modest price. A great place to stay if you have to be in San Jose.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great downtown hotel."
Small boutique hotel, nicely refurbished. Good location close to public transportation (bus & train). Very comfortable beds. Windows That open. Italian restaurant on site but many eateries within easy walking distance. Friendly staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel,"
I have stayed here numerous times, and I always enjoy the stay. My only complaint... I like to have hot hot hot hot water, and it was not as hot as I like, but other than that I love the hotel. For most people, it is likely plenty hot. It is in a fun location, and we also love the Il Fornaio restaurant downstairs. It is also walking distance to HP Pavilion […] and the downtown restaurants. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Charming, historic personality"
We found the hotel Sainte Claire to be very comfortable, friendly and accommodating. The staff were very nice and helpful and the place has a lot of charm. It is not a modern and flashy hotel, but rather a classy step back into the past.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great for business or pleasure."
It's a great value considering location and great service. I really enjoy the ambiance and historical feel - not just a cookie cutter hotel. The restaurant is also very good.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Glamorous Vintage Hotel"
We really like the enchanting vintage styling which can only come with age. My possibly only complaint from such a high star establishment was I thought the towels which were used should be replaced with clean ones. It only seems sanitary. The balance of the staff were true gems, your HR does a fabulous job screening to form a very likeable and efficient […] team. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel in heart of San Jose"
The rooms are clean and comfortable, although on the small side. The hotel staff is very nice and attentive. The location of the hotel is perfect for any event downtown. The Fairmont is a newer hotel with better amenities, but also a price tag to match. Overall, the Sainte Claire is a good price for a very nice hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
Although the room was a bit small, the bed was extremely comfortable and the room was well insulated. No Noise! I wish we could have stayed longer and taken advantage of some of the amenities. We would recommend to others,Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quick stay after a long work week"
It was a last minute late night decision to stay in downtown San Jose. Ended up choosing to stay here because of the great things I've heard from friends who have stayed. Really nice lobby area and the FD was great. Brandon checked me in and was very pleasant to speak with and engaging. Even William was polite as he answered my call when I had a question. […] Would stay again! Il Fo is also a perk! Love the butternut squash ravioli! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good location"
We had cheer competition at convention center across. It was a great place to stay!Genuine Expedia guest review
"affordable nice but small rooms and bathroom"
It was conveineint nice but not for more than 2 peple. Bathroom too small and no counter space. Needs a floor mirror.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ideal for an outing at the Tech Museum"
The hotel is ideally located in downtown San Jose. We took the grandkids to the Tech Museum, it is about a block away. The staff were very helpful and cooperative, allowing us to leave our car and luggage until the end of the Tech Museum sojourn.Genuine Expedia guest review

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- With no solution to the government shutdown in sight, Maryland Congresswoman Donna Edwards is turning to her constituents for advice.
On Monday afternoon, the democratic congresswoman invited three furloughed federal employees from her district to her office on Capitol Hill.
"I feel like I'm being held hostage and I feel like I'm being bullied," said Julia Michaels, who works for the centers for Medicare and Medicaid.
"It's a sense of not counting that bothers me," said Emma Antunes, who works at the NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center. "I work for the government because I believe in it."
"You can't sleep at night and you're constantly wondering how are the bills going to be paid?" said Seconda Tyson, whose been an employee at the Environmental Protection Agency since 1989.
One temporary fix that's been tossed around by House republicans is to fund some parts of the government and not others. But all three of the furloughed workers meeting with Congresswoman Edwards told her that the federal agencies they work for are too interconnected for that proposal to work.
"For example, it wouldn't make sense if the NOAA folks went back to work, but the NASA folks didn't go back to work, right?" asked Edwards.
"Right. No projects wouldn't move. Nothing would get done," said Antunes.
Antunes, Michaels, and Tyson say all they want is to go back to work and get a paycheck. Even so, all three had the same advice for the Congresswoman: don't compromise.
"Stick to your ground and don't back down," said Tyson.
"Don't back down and don't negotiate," said Antunes.
"I'm concerned that if you change position, republicans will see a weakness and then where will this all stop?" said Michaels.
"The only thing that I can say is that I'm just going to keep fighting for you," responded Congresswoman Edwards.
Congresswoman Edwards' staff selected those constituents for the Monday meeting. To be fair, WUSA9 reached out to several of her Republican colleagues from Virginia, but all of them declined to participate.

Air Pressure is a visual novel game that I've been working on on-and-off for a while. It has only three different endings, but a lot of branches!
I hope you enjoy it. It is quite a serious game, I guess. :)

Response to I-Medved
She's horrible! How on earth is she the heroine?!
Since this story is told from the guy's perspective, I'm assuming he's the protagonist, and she's suffocating him, so wouldn't that make her the antagonist?
And I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Does the guy have some sort of mental issue?
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 27, 2010
Really interesting.
I got the good ending after getting the normal ending twice. At that point I was very upset... I took the story literally, since I wasn't yet aware of the bad ending.
I didn't know it was a metaphor at that point... I compared it to my own love. We had a large fight recently and I felt like it was telling me to move on, even though I don't want to at all...
Because of these circumstances, I was incredibly relieved when I got the bad ending. I think that's a weird emotion to have at that part. Just the realization that it was a metaphor made me feel better.
It's pretty silly, I know. It's not that I take videogames as instructions, but rather that it made me think about relationships in a way I usually don't; about how people can affect eachother. Because of the way I played it, it moved me deeply for a different reason than was probably intended...

This is only my third month participating, but the Recipe ReDux is turning 1! To celebrate, this month we are all posting "Small Bites to Celebrate a Big Event", following on the latest restaurant dessert trend – mini sweet treats. So that means that you can sample one from each of the ReDux participants and not feel guilty, right?! :-)
Just as a reminder, the Recipe Redux is a recipe challenge and blog hop started by registered dietitians, with a focus on DELICIOUS and nutritional foods. Yes, eating healthy can be tasty! And that is what all of the participants are here to show you. Each month there is a theme, and we all post our takes on the theme on the 21st of each month.
Awhile ago I told you about a little get-together I had with my grade-school friends. And I shared this little preview on Instagram.
Well, I was going to post these awhile ago, but when I saw the the theme for this month's ReDux, I held this recipe in my back pocket, because I knew it would be a perfect way to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY REDUX!
And cheers to another great year!
So did I just bring plain old chocolate-covered strawberries to the party? Umm, no! Take a look inside…
Yes! Cheesecake! Inside the strawberry!! It's like two of the best desserts all in one. And decadent and healthy all at the same time.
Go ahead, eat five one!
And don't forget to check out all of the little sweet treats from the other ReDuxers using the links at the bottom of this post.
What is your favorite healthy and/or little dessert?
- 1-1½ lb strawberries
- 4 oz. light cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 T powdered sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 c dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, or candy melts
- Optional crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, and/or sprinkles
- Remove the hull from the strawberries, and, using a paring knife, cut a slightly larger cavirty into the strawberry.
- In a small bowl, combine the light cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
- Using a piping bag, plastic storage bag with the tip cut off, or Pampered Chef Easy-Accent Decorator, pipe the cheesecake filling into the strawberries.
- Place the strawberries in the refrigerator for at least half an hour to chill and firm the filling.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave, or over a pot of simmering water.
- Dip the cheesecake end into the chocolate, then into the graham crackers, nuts, or sprinkles, if desired.

just tried using "Computer Workout" and it responded with "error message". Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a problem on your end? Thanks. Really like Chess.com btw
Works for me. What error do you get? Which position did you try?
Using an Extra Knight. It momentarily registers the move. Then in red highlight says: an error occured. Please try again. Then resets to the original position.
I get this too now when trying to move a piece. I make a move then it resets saying an error occured.

10 Healthcare Reforms Rolling Out In 2013
February 7, 2013 // 1 Commentby Ellis Moore, BDO Contributing Writer
With President Obama in the White House for another four years and the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, Americans will continue to see changes in coverage and fees for healthcare.
Passed in 2010, we've already seen incremental changes: If you have a pre-existing medical condition that made it impossible for you to qualify for medical coverage before, you can no longer be denied coverage. Young adults can stay on their parents' insurance plans up until age 26, and as of August 2012 there's no more copay for your birth control pills or gynecological well-woman visits.
Here are 10 reforms set to launch this year:
1. Federal subsidies begin phasing in for brand-name prescriptions filled in the Medicare Part D coverage gap to reduce out of pocket costs for beneficiaries. Coinsurance will drop from the 2010 level of 100 percent of costs to co-payments of 25 percent in 2020.
Additionally, a 50 percent discount automatically will be applied at the pharmacy counter on Part D-covered prescription drugs while beneficiaries are in the doughnut hole.
2. The Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) tax rate will increase from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent on earnings over $200,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. When it comes to higher-income earners, there will also be a new 3.8 percent assessment on unearned income, such as investment returns.
3. Disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments will fall initially by 75 percent. These are annual allotments states pass on to hospitals that serve disproportionate numbers of low-income patients. Medicaid DSH also will be reduced.
Subsequently, payments will increase based on the percent of uninsured persons hospitals serve and the amount of uncompensated care that is provided.
4. Federal matching payments for preventative services will rise by 1 percentage point for states that offer Medicaid coverage with no patient cost sharing for services and immunizations they receive, as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Children's Health Insurance Program
5. CHIP funding is authorized through 2013 but will be extended until 2015.
6. The threshold for the itemized deduction for non-reimbursed medical expenses goes up from 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI) to 10 percent of AGI. That jump is waived, however, for taxpayers age 65 and older in tax years 2013 to 2016.
7. A 2.3 percent excise tax will be imposed on medical device manufacturers.
Flexible Spending Accounts
8. Contributions to health care flexible spending accounts to cover medical expenses will be capped at $2,500 per year, but could go up based on cost-of-living adjustments. Currently there is no legal limit, but there is a use-it-or-lose-it rule for contributed funds.
Retiree prescription drug subsidies
9. The tax deduction for employers who receive Medicare Part D drug subsidies for retirees will be eliminated. Some employers have been shifting more costs to retirees despite getting government dollars to offset their costs.
10. Penalties will be imposed on employers who do not withhold sufficient Medicare payroll taxes for employees.

Medicare offers all enrollees a defined benefit. Hospital care is covered under Part A and outpatient medical services are covered under Part B. To cover the Part A and Part B benefits, Medicare offers a choice between an open-network single payer health care plan (traditional Medicare) and a network plan (Medicare Advantage, or Medicare Part C), where the federal government pays for private health coverage. ,..:-

For the past 10 years I have been a golf director, booking packages for a large rental company in North Myrtle Beach and have read the letters sent to the editor from Thomas Brennan and will say that I do not always agree with all that he says, especially about new players out on the course, but I will have to agree with his Aug. 25 letter.
I believe the courses are lowering their image along with giving the customer the wrong opinion of golf here in Myrtle Beach. They are making all the freebies they are giving away more important than the actual game of golf. As Tom stated in his letter, we need a better marketing strategy to get the players here again, they will pay for a good experience on the golf course as long as the courses are kept in good condition and are reasonably priced. But the biggest thing that needs to be done is to address "Pace of Play."
Slow play is the number one complaint we receive from golfers, next is the way the were treated at the course by personnel and last is condition of the course. Most of the courses have eliminated rangers riding around the course and ensuring that the "pace" is kept in check. The courses that still have rangers instruct them to not push the players to keep pace to avoid upsetting players so they will return in the future. What about all the groups behind that are being held up and waiting on every hole due to one foursome. Are they not concerned about the 4, 5, 6 groups of foursomes behind that have to wait and hit on every hole? Do they think they will be returning?
As seen on TV during the broadcast of every tournament being played, even the PGA and USGA are promoting "Tee it Forward" and "While we are Young." campaigns. Why doesn't Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday along with all marketing for golf jump on the band wagon of this campaign? Why not advertise that Myrtle Beach Golf is a "Tee it Forward" destination. There are celebrities like, Nicklaus, Palmer, Woods, Sorenstam and even Clint Eastwood who are marketing the idea of moving the game along at a pace of play to make it enjoyable for all. All the courses need to do is make sure they have rangers out on the course making sure play is moving along the way it should. What better marketing could we have than on the coattails of these famous players and actors.
I am sure for the most part if a group is holding up the "Pace of Play" and they are asked to speed up or even pick up their balls and proceed to the next hole would not cause any concerns. of course there will always be some that will complain or even refuse, but I believe for the most part it will cause no ill will especially if the courses advertise heavily about being a "Tee it Forward" course. No one wants to spend 5 and 6 hours to play a round of golf. A novice golfer will have to learn to pick up their ball and move along, just as I did when I started playing.
So the courses do need to stop the pricing wars with severe discounts and free giveaways. Why would we want to be called the "Kmart of Golf?" Give the golf a decent price, a well maintained course and play within 4 to no more than 4 1/2 hours of play. Maybe if they get done in a reasonable time frame they will come into the shop and pay for a second round and everybody wins.
So, Myrtle Beach, get in the game and do it "While we are Young" or you will see more and more courses closing down due to lack of play. Lets get back to being the "Golf Capital of the World" not the place where you go to get a free hot dog or beer.

The scheme is part of Scotland's largest ever vaccination programme and should have begun at city primary schools on Wednesday.
But parents at Glendale Primary in Pollokshields, which has a large number of Muslim children who cannot use pig products for religious reasons, complained.
The scheme is now on hold in the city, although it will go ahead as planned in other health boards.
A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said: "We asked for a delay to the start of the programme in our schools to allow for additional information regarding the programme to be sent to families taking part."
The vaccine is being offered for the first time to every child in Scotland aged two and three. Previously only children in "at risk" groups were offered the protection.
Around 120,000 children in Scotland, including 100,000 primary pupils, will be offered the Fluenz nasal spray, which health bosses claim is the most effective available.
Dr Syed Ahmed, consultant in public health medicine at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), said: "We want to point out to parents and carers that the nasal spray vaccine contains a tiny amount of gelatine of pork origin used during the manufacturing process."
He said gelatine was commonly used in the manufacture of medicines and the trace in the finished nasal spray was a "completely changed substance".
NHSGGC, whose area contains the overwhelming majority of Scotland's Muslims, said it had postponed the vaccinations "following concerns raised by a small number of parents".
The health board added that, in 2001, 100 Islamic scholars had agreed pork gelatine was permissible within a vaccine so there had been no need for advance publicity.
The city council moved to halt the programme within its schools after the complaints were made, with children given letters last night informing them of the situation.
It will restart next week, with parents given the choice of an injection which does not contain the gelatine product.

Listening to a girl moan and orgasm, has to be one of the hottest things I could ever hear.
Listening to a guy moan is also incredibly hot.
Hearing the microwave go off when it's done cooking my pizza rolls is SO HOT.
Im pretty sure hearing the vacuum cleaner or the dishes being washed while I'm just laying on the couch being lazy is the hottest sound ever.

The Tennessee GOP Message Travels Around The World
Bill Hobbs comes right back at Barack Obama after the candidate called his party out on Good Morning America:
You can't send your wife out on the campaign trail to give campaign speeches and do fund-raisers on your behalf and then complain that she gets a little criticism. And if you think she ought not get public scrutiny, then you probably shouldn't take her with you onto Good Morning America and condescendingly demand she be left out of the spotlight.

People of Tennessee
Look at the state of your economy, look at the state of your healthcare. Look what the GOP offers. Hate mongering and fear mongering. Don't be fooled. Vote in your and your state's self interest. Vote for the Democratic candidate...whoever it may be!!
As a baby boomer unaffiliated
As a baby boomer unaffiliated with many past wrongs in this country, I have lived in a time in which this country has fallen all over itself -- to extremes: to the point of unfairness, injustice, inequity, and self-destruction -- to make up for its past wrongs against minorities. Ms. Obama's statement doesn't sit well with me.
I don't know what you mean by
I don't know what you mean by "special." Here you are being all "'Animal Farm' by George Orwell" and I could read that like you think I'm too stupid to know that Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" but instead I give consideration to the fact that you're just trying to make a point and be clear about it.
Am I giving you special consideration or am I just doing what people do and assuming the best of a person I don't really know because that's just how I prefer to work things?
Maybe I'm wrong and maybe she is the biggest condescending b*tch on the planet. But so what? That still wouldn't excuse the fact that when Hobbs chose to criticize her, and then her husband, instead of engaging them on policy, he went for the biggest weenie move I've seen in the history of Tennessee blogging and took after her because she's excited for her husband and then took after him because he dared stand up when she'd been insulted.
Is she fair game?
Is that going to stop me from pointing out that Hobbs is making us all look bad with his antics that seem to come right out of the weenie-man's playbook?
Because it's understandable?
Because it's understandable? She grew up in Chicago, which is even today very racially segregated, during a time of enormous political unrest and ugly racial incidents in the city. She didn't say that she had, previous to that moment, been ashamed of being an American. She just said she hadn't been proud.
I get that. It's not my experience of being an American. But nobody in my family had to leave their homes and move north to look for work because they couldn't find jobs because of the color of their skin. Nobody in my family had to endure segregation. Etc. Etc. Etc.
The thing I find funny and weird about this is that I took what she said as a real sign of hope, that she could finally set aside the bitterness of her past and have hope and pride in America.
And to have that turned around on her just seems a.) really petty and bullying and b.) to completely just not get that what she's saying is exactly what conservatives are constantly complaining about. I hear you guys all the time "Why can't African Americans just get over..." and here she is saying "Hey, today I feel proud. I feel like I can let go of all this stuff." and you guys come down on her with both feet.
Do you even want black people to someday vote for you?
You want to hate on Obama because she doesn
Oh, come on! Do you honestly
Oh, come on! Do you honestly thing Michelle Obama's parents bought her a Princeton education? Please. You want to hate on Obama because she doesn't tear up appropriately when she thinks of America, land where little girls like her got rocks thrown at them for trying to go to school, fine. I guess we can all listen to you guys blathering on from bizarro land where people are simultaneously proud of their cultural heritage and completely oblivious to it.
But to try to talk like only rich people go to Ivy League schools? Aren't you conservatives all about people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps?
But by god, the second someone does, you all are "oh, what elitists! Boo hoo!"
(Kids, if you are reading along at home, if you get excellent grades, you can go to almost any college you want, even the Ivies. You might have to go into debt to do it, but you don't have to be rich. And, contrary to what the conservatives are now preaching, there's no shame in getting the best education you can.)
we understand how any effort to clarify a statement doesn
yes, number9. we do
yes, number9. we do understand. we understand how any effort to clarify a statement doesn't help the smear campaign, therefore it needs to be ignored and dismissed. that way, the smear campaign can go on and on and on and on.
Any thoughtful person
Any thoughtful person understands what Michelle was saying
She said she had never been proud of America. Do "thoughtful" people parse that differently from English speaking people?
Do you not understand what the meaning of the word "proud" is?
What some people are saying is "hear what I meant to say rather than what I said". That is the mantra of elitists.
Speaking of public scrutiny,
Speaking of public scrutiny, can we please see Cindy McCain's tax returns?
The tone of the you-tube ad
The tone of the you-tube ad tries to say that it speaks for ALL Tennesseans and of course it doesn't. I don't know if Obama should be outraged but a goodly portion of Tennessee should be.
Any thoughtful person understands what Michelle was saying, and frankly, with the wifely baggage that the McCain's are carrying you would think they would be smart enough to stay away form this angle of attack.
