Barton Proves His Worth In Las Vegas
Senior NBA & College Basketball Editor
Follow @Yannis KoutroupisYannis Koutroupis
Draft night 2012 was not an enjoyable experience for Portland Trail Blazers guard Will Barton.
Barton, an All-Conference USA first team selection this past season at Memphis, had aspirations of being selected in the early 20's. In his mind, he was a lock to go in the first round. It was not without reason, either. He out-performed many of the shooting guards who were selected before him in pre-draft workouts, yet he did not hear his name called by NBA Commissioner David Stern.
It was not until the 40th selection that the nightmare ended Barton.
Once the frustration passed from his unexpected slide down the draft board, the realization hit Barton that he landed in a great situation with the Trail Blazers. They are in rebuilding mode and he has a chance to be a major part of that process.
At the Las Vegas Summer League Barton, who the team officially signed last week, averaged 15 points, four rebounds and two assists in five contests. He played his best basketball late, recording 21 points on 8-11 shooting in a win against the Denver Nuggets and 27 points on 10-17 shooting in a blowout victory against the Miami HEAT. While he was trying to make a case for early playing time, there was also a part of him who wanted to prove a point to every team that passed on him.
"Yeah, there is a little something extra," Barton said to HOOPSWORLD when asked about his motivation level. "I thought I was going to go mid-to-late first round, but it did not work out that way. I am fortunate, lucky that Portland drafted me. I am just trying to make the best opportunity of it. I am not thinking of the draft any more, I am where I am. Now it's just about trying to be one of the best players in the NBA. It is going to take a lot of work. I'm willing to put it in."
Barton was coached by Kaleb Canales, who is the perceived-favorite to get the Trail Blazer's head coaching job, in summer league. Barton clicked with him immediately, forming chemistry that should carry over into the regular season if Canales is indeed hired.
"He is a great coach," Barton said. "He is a player's coach. He is real hands on and has a great personality. He is real excited about the game, teaches a lot. He is just a great fundamental coach. He is really hands on about learning the game and just getting better.
"I feel like it has been good, just a process. I feel like I'm getting better every day, learning every day and just trying to sink in as many details as I can."
One of the things that stood out about Barton during the pre-draft process was his confidence. Barton openly stated that he felt he was the best wing in the class, which is not a mentality that Canales wants him to abandon although it may have affected his stock on draft night.
"Coach just wants me to be aggressive," Barton said. "He thinks I am a big time talent and just wants me to play with confidence each time out. He wants me to just keep defending. He feels with my athleticism and length that I can be a real shut down defender. He also wants me to attack the rim and make winning plays. That is what I have been trying to do."
Joining Barton in the backcourt on the summer league team has been fellow rookie guard Damian Lillard, who the team selected sixth overall. He was no slouch in summer league himself, averaging 26 points, four rebounds and five assists in four contests. Lillard is slated to be the Trail Blazer's point guard of the future, and perhaps the present as well. His performance has Barton really excited to play and grow alongside him for the next few seasons, and hopefully many more after that.
"Lillard is a big time guard," Barton said. "He can put up points in a hurry and sees the floor very nice. He is also tough. That's the thing I like about him. He does not back down. He plays with that chip on his shoulder, reminds me of myself. He can really play. He is second to none when it comes to being able to perform and talent wise. I really respect his game."
With summer league completed Lillard and Barton will get ready for the next step: training camp. Expectations are not very high for the Trail Blazers due to all the changeover on the roster, but if their rookie guards pick up where they left off in Las Vegas they could be back in the playoff mix sooner than everyone expects.

The Play (Masterplots II: Drama)
The Member of the Wedding begins as the lights gradually reveal a kitchen in which Berenice Sadie Brown is preparing refreshments, and a backyard where Mr. Addams and his daughter, Frankie, are entertaining Jarvis Addams and his fiancee, Janice. Their wedding is to be two days later, on Sunday. Also present is John Henry West, Frankie's cousin, who lives next door. Frankie rushes to serve the couple and then perches at their feet.
When Janice asks about music from a nearby girls' clubhouse, Frankie admits that she is not yet a member but soon hopes to be. After the couple leaves, Berenice, John Henry, and Frankie begin their usual card game, but soon stop because John Henry has cut the pictures from the jacks and queens. With nothing to do, Frankie is restless; she has outgrown playing with the neighborhood children and does not want the doll Jarvis has brought her. When the club girls tell her that Mary Littlejohn is the new member, Frankie is crushed. In her frustration, she turns to thoughts of Janice and Jarvis. Suddenly, she realizes that both their names begin with J and a. Wanting her name to fit this pattern, she changes it to F. Jasmine Addams.
Concerned about her friendless condition, Frankie worries about becoming a freak because of her height. When John Henry irritates her, she sends him home. Trying to raise Frankie's spirits, Berenice starts teasing her about having a crush on the wedding; in retaliation, Frankie...

Dramatic Devices (Masterplots II: Drama)
The structure of The Member of the Wedding differs from standard dramatic format in that the antagonist is not a character but an abstraction: loneliness. Moreover, most of the dramatic action (the wedding, Frankie's attempt to accompany the newlyweds, and John Henry's and Honey's deaths) occurs offstage and is reported to the audience. The audience's attention, therefore, is directed to the emotional effects of these events on the characters rather than to the events themselves.
The first two acts move slowly and consist mainly of digressive, disjointed conversation among Berenice, Frankie, and John Henry, revealing Frankie's unsettled condition as well as the lack of real communion among the three. Frankie's movements correspond to her moods: When troubled by the piano tuner, she paces; when fantasizing about joining her brother's wedding, she runs. The tempo of act 3 is much faster: The three short scenes parallel the play's rapid changes and quicken the rhythm through a staccato effect.
The play's costuming also aids characterization. As a tomboy, Frankie wears shorts and a sombrero; as F. Jasmine, she wears an orange satin evening dress to match her fantasies. T.T. Williams' black, church-deacon suit fits his placid demeanor, while Honey Brown's loud-colored, snappy clothes publicize his volatile nature. Berenice's blue glass eye perhaps represents a wish to identify with white society.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Georgia town
Georgia town. Unnamed and typically southern community that is Frankie's hometown. Frankie spends much of this hot August weekend walking to town, downtown to her father's jewelry store just off the main street, for example, and later to Sugarville, the Black section of town where Berenice Sadie Brown and her mother live, and to the Blue Moon, a bar where Frankie has her adventures with the red-haired soldier.
Addams home
Addams home. Small house on 124 Grove Street, some blocks from the main section of town. Frankie, her cousin John Henry West, aged six, and the Addams's cook Berenice have spent the summer sitting in the Addams's kitchen, playing cards and talking. If Frankie feels stuck between childhood and adolescence, this house, with John Henry's childlike drawings on the kitchen walls, and Frankie's sleeping-porch bedroom, perfectly reflects her condition. At the end of the novel, Frankie's father decides to move her to another house on the outskirts of town with relatives, which signals the changes that have occurred in Frankie.
Winter Hill
Winter Hill. Georgia site of the wedding of Frankie's brother Jarvis and Janice Evans, and the goal of all Frankie's dreams. Frankie plans to break out of her preadolescent jail by joining Jarvis and Janice on their honeymoon; after the wedding her father has to drag her out of their car. Winter Hill (like much...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
This female initiation story is told in three parts and focuses on the changes that take place inside the maturing twelve-year-old who has called herself Frankie until she decides to become a member of the wedding. In part 2, she is F. Jasmine and believes that she is destined for an exciting life with Jarvis and Janice. By part 3, she has left her childish self behind and is referring to herself as Frances.
All of the events of part 1 as well as much of the past take place in the kitchen of the Addams home. Berenice's domain has become a precious and private sanctuary where Berenice, Frankie, and John Henry have spent most of the summer prior to the wedding. After Jarvis and Janice come for lunch on the last Friday of August, Frankie's thoughts and conversation are totally centered on the wedding; Berenice accuses her of actually being in love with the wedding. That evening, after Frankie decides that she is a member of the wedding and that she will begin her new life by going with the couple on their honeymoon, she is a different, more confident person and changes her name to F. Jasmine.
Part 2 describes this new F. Jasmine, who spends the entire next day sharing her good news and looking at the town and at her former life as if she has already left them behind. For the first time in her life, she enters the Blue Moon, a place that has always fascinated her because it is forbidden to children but is enjoyed by soldiers on holiday and the...

Context (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Frankie, in this coming-of-age story published in 1946, still serves as an effective role model for young postmodern women; McCullers' handling of gender identity and racial differences deserves particular attention.
Like her contemporaries Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, McCullers is fascinated with freaks and other "grotesque" aspects of Southern life. Frankie is concerned that she is or will become a freak; a favorite topic of conversation for her and John Henry is the half-man, half-woman in the freak show at the county fair. The androgynous name Frankie wears is born out of her attire, her boy's haircut, all of her favorite activities, and her conception of the ideal world in which everyone could change from boy to girl and back to boy at will—just as her cat changes from Charlie to Charlina. Having grown four inches in the past year, she calculates that she will be nine feet tall by the time she is eighteen. Her fears that she will be a physical freak are enforced by her fascination with knives and her worries about the "criminal deed" that she has committed in stealing a knife at Sears. All of her fears are compounded in her fear that she has killed the soldier who has attempted to treat her body as that of an adult woman. These issues, along with her father's indifference and rejection, are perfect for feminist psychoanalysts.
McCullers' loving portrayal of Berenice provides a significant commentary on racial...

Historical Context
World War II
Although the exact date of the story is not given, the events described indicate that it takes place near the end of World War II. In part one, Berenice mentions to Frankie that she read that the French were driving the Germans out of Paris. The liberation of Paris took place on August 25, 1944. McCullers mentions that Frankie reads the war news as she thinks about the summer. Describing the summer, she writes, "It was the summer when Patton was chasing the Germans across France. And they were fighting, too, in Russia and Saipan." These references indicate the summer of 1944.
Jarvis, Frankie's brother, is in the army and is stationed in Alaska. In 1942, while the Battle of Midway waged in the South Pacific, the Japanese took control of two Aleutian Islands (in southwest Alaska). This victory was less strategic than it was psychological, as the Americans were terrified at the prospect of having the enemy on the continent. In 1943, the American military began a fifteenmonth battle to reclaim the land, which they eventually won. There is also a reference to Jarvis and his bride going to Luxembourg, a formerly Nazioccupied country. After the Allies freed Luxembourg in September of 1944, American military personnel were sent to aid in peacekeeping.
Because there is an army base near Frankie's hometown, she is accustomed to the sight of soldiers on leave. In part two, McCullers comments that when Frankie...

Literary Style
Part of the appeal of McCullers's writing style is her use of unexpected similes. As a pre-adolescent, Frankie looks for new ways to understand familiar things and also reaches for ways to understand and express experiences and feelings that are new to her. In this situation, similes are a natural form of expression.
Frankie associates her longing to go somewhere interesting with what she imagines her brother's life is like. In part one, McCullers writes, "Frankie had not seen her brother for a long, long time, and his face had become masked and changing, like a face seen under water." Later, Frankie thinks about the people at the freak show, and the Fat Lady is described as having fat that "was like loose-powdered dough which she kept slapping and working with her hands." This is a highly visual simile that is drawn from Frankie's domestic experience, as the reader soon encounters a scene in which Berenice and John Henry are working with biscuit dough. Similarly, in part two, the hot afternoon air is described as "thick and sticky as hot syrup." The fragility of John Henry is expressed in a scene in which Frankie goes to visit him in the evening, and he is standing on his porch. McCullers writes, "John Henry was leaning against the banisters of his front porch, with a lighted window behind him, so that he looked like a little black paper doll on a piece of yellow paper." In each case, McCullers is...

Compare and Contrast
1942: In small towns, boys and girls amuse themselves by playing with friends and family members of about the same age. They often play outdoor games such as softball, tag, and hideand- seek. Other common pastimes include performing skits; dressing up in silly outfits or grownups' clothing; exploring nearby trails, woods, or creeks; and setting up lemonade or snow-cone stands to make a little money.
Today: In small towns and big cities alike, children and adolescents entertain themselves with television, videos, computers, video games, music, and reading.
1942: Many middle-class white families employ African Americans as domestic help. Women are often housekeepers who also help with child rearing and thus become a part of the family dynamics. For many African-American women (like Berenice), this is their best opportunity for work. Men are employed less frequently but are sometimes paid to perform tasks such as household repairs, yard work, and wood chopping.
Today: Only the wealthiest households employ servants, and they may be of any race. While many people hire maid services, the relationship is nothing at all like the relationships with livein housekeepers of the past. African Americans have opportunities to work in all types of jobs, and the law protects their right to do so.

Topics for Further Study
Read what three major psychologists have to say about adolescence. Apply these theories to the character of Frankie to determine in what ways she fits the patterns suggested by psychologists and in what ways she is unusual.
Research the role of African-American servants in white Southern households in the early-to mid-twentieth century. Create a class presentation to relate your findings and personal comments. Lead a discussion about the progress against discrimination made by African Americans in the latter half of the century.
Compare the African-American characters in The Member of the Wedding with African- American characters in one of the following: Gone with the Wind, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Huckleberry Finn, or To Kill a Mockingbird.
Music was an important part of McCullers's life, and she uses musical references and imagery throughout the novel. Imagine that you are a guest lecturer at a school for music, and your objective is to interest the students in literature. Prepare a lecture in which you use The Member of the Wedding to teach students how music and literature can complement each other. Be sure to demonstrate how an understanding of music gives insight into the book.

Media Adaptations
At the encouragement of Tennessee Williams, McCullers adapted The Member of the Wedding for the stage. The play opened on Broadway in 1950 and was very successful. It ran for fourteen months and over five hundred performances. For this play, McCullers won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the Donaldson Award for Best Drama of the Year, and the Gold Medal of the Theatre Club.
A film adaptation was made in 1952. Produced by Columbia Pictures, it earned a 1953 Academy Award nomination for best actress for Julie Harris (who played Frankie). Brandon de Wilde (who played John Henry) won a 1953 Special Golden Globe for best juvenile actor.
Two television movies have been based on the novel. A 1982 version was performed on "NBC Live Theater," and, in 1997, Hallmark Home Entertainment produced a television movie starring Anna Paquin as Frankie and Alfre Woodard as Berenice.
In 1987, DH Audio released an audio adaptation with Tammy Grimes as the reader.

What Do I Read Next?
Noted literary scholar Harold Bloom and William Golding compiled Carson McCullers (Modern Critical Views) (1986) to provide a wide range of critical viewpoints for students of McCullers's work. In addition to considering her career as a whole, the authors comment on individual works.
In the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird (1960) Harper Lee tells the story of eight-year-old Scout and her older brother Jem growing up in the South during the Depression. Their attorney father takes an unpopular stance when he agrees to represent an African-American man accused of raping a poor white woman.
McCullers's critically acclaimed The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940) is the story of John Singer, a deaf-mute living in a southern mill town in the 1930s. The novel explores themes of loneliness, morality, and intolerance as it presents the lives of five characters.
Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie (1944) tells the story of the members of a southern family who are facing their individual problems along with the problems of modern life.

My Profile
Rammstein were formed in 1993 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. They took their name (adding an "m") from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show. (The literal translation of "ram stein" is a battering ram made of stone.) Word of Rammstein's horror/romanticist blend of theater and music -- one-time Olympic swimmer Till Lindemann would sing entire songs engulfed in flame from head to toe -- spread quickly. The band's first album, Herzeleid (Heartache), built on the grounds created by the band's live reputation. Scaling the German charts (and remaining there until the release of the second Rammstein LP some two years later), the album also introduced the band to the world outside of the Germany/Switzerland/Austria region. As Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht (Longing), was released, the band was headlining throughout Europe to crowds of 10,000 to 30,000 people. Sehnsucht entered the German charts at number one immediately upon its release and came very close to doing the same in Austria and Switzerland. Within weeks, entries on other countries' charts had Sehnsucht rubbing elbows with the Prodigy, Radiohead, and the Rolling Stones on Billboard's cumulative Eurochart. From there the fever spread, transcending any perceived language barrier. Mutter followed in 2001, Reise, Reise in 2004, and the live collection Volkerball in 2006. Liebe Ist fur Alle Da followed in 2009. A limited edition of the album was packed in a metal suitcase that also housed six sex toys, one for each member of the band. ~ Ed Nimmervoll, Rovi

Cod5poons doesn't know anything. the German language is very guttural but it has it's own beauty. Also, a lot of their songs are sexual, and there are plenty deep meaningful songs like Rosenrot or Ohne Dich, but of course there are going to be songs about violence, they are an industrial metal band.
German language I general sounds hostile. (All the words that end in the "ich" sound I think) most ppl who having heard anything besides fueir frei in the beginning of the movie xxx think Rammtein songs are all about violence.
Rammstein ist mein <3
There is a guy named willow spouted crap about rammstein being nazi music. He is an ignorant b**tard. Perhaps he should find the translated version of rammstein songs. They are very far from Nazi. Go die willow.

Love this band. :,D been listening to them since I was a baby....(now my parents regret that choice they made)
As with my small pool of bands I would consider my favorites I like the majority of everything they have made and so few bands stay true to their original sound that made them unique and stand out above the others but i can always count on Rammstein being well Rammstein no matter how old or new the music may be.
Always loved Engle from Sehnsucht. This is one of those bands that just gets better and better though. I've enjoyed each release since then more and more.
Du duhaust meish is a good song. I'm gonna have to check more of the music out. Alsome

I hate getting into things like this but uo_issac just no. How dare you thing of some random German band as pro-nazi, and I highly doubt that some as uneducated as yourself would even know what a nazi is. You would just throw that word around like words like "rape" or "assault" just never speak like that ever.
all you haters, stop it, youre wasting your time, just thumbs down if you dont like it
uo_issac, u are stereotyping an amazing band.. Nazi band?! really. that's a very uneducated opinion. They are just proud to be German, and i really doubt they are pro nazi. translate the lyrics, there is nothing nazi about them.

saw these guys over the summer, best show ive seen yet, oh, and till set a guy on fire
I em so crazy about these guys omg i love them there so telanted the best in my judgement i rock out to all they albums they have out
A lot of bands have more talent than they're credited for, even more have less. Rammstein, however, might be one of the few hiding the depth of their talent from their fans as much as from their detractors.
You should update the bio. The name Rammstein has nothing to do with the airfield. The band itself declined that link in the name multiple times
I SEEN THEM IN 3 TIMES IN OHIO United states
Till Lindemann. Age 50. Living proof that you're never too old to rock and roll.
They did not play in America for a decade because Till was not allowed to set up his own pyrotechnics . They just toured the US in 2012 and 2011.
I heard they were banned from playing in America for a few years for crowd surfing a dead body

American research firm SRI International and Japan's Hyper Drive Corporation today are testing the latest generation of their jointly developed buoy-mounted, ocean wave-powered generator off the coast of Santa Cruz, Calif. As the generator bobs up and down, an accordionlike device inside, made of artificial muscle called Electroactive Polymer Artificial Muscle (EPAM), stretches and contracts, creating mechanical energy that is converted into electricity.
SRI is hoping to demonstrate its ability to generate at least 10 Watts of power in waves about 3.3 feet (one meter) in height, a stepping stone to the 100-Watt capacity the researchers hope to be able to generate within a few years. One of their goals is to replace the 25-Watt batteries that navigation buoys use today with a source of renewable energy that can power additional equipment such as cameras and storm warning sensors.
Once the EPAM buoys are each efficient enough to generate significant power, SRI may try to link dozens of them to create a wave energy farm that might be an option for delivering electricity to landlubbers. "You could put [a wave farm] on a seawall to power a factory," says Roy Kornbluh, SRI's principal research engineer.
Most other technology developed for harvesting wave power—including Finavera Renewables's AquaBuOY and WaveBob Ltd.'s wave-absorbing buoy—absorbs energy from riding the waves as they bob up and down. Kornbluh points out that SRI's core artificial muscle technology could be added to these other wave buoy technologies to improve their ability to generate power.
The most advanced technology for drawing power from waves, however, looks more like a snake than a navigation buoy. Edinburgh-based Pelamis Wave Power, Ltd., (PWP) has since September been working with asset management firm Babcock & Brown, energy provider Energias de Portugal, and Efacec (a Portugese maker of electromechanical devices) on the Agucadoura project, which has three red Pelamis wave energy converts bobbing in the waves three miles (4.8 kilometers) off Portugal's coast. This first phase will cost about $13 million and generate up to 2.25 megawatts. The company hopes to next year begin building another 25 wave-energy converters that could eventually increase the output to 21 megawatts, which is expected to serve the electricity needs of more than 15,000 Portuguese households.

The studies do find some benefit from biofuels but only when planted on agricultural land too dry or degraded for food production or significant tree or plant growth and only when derived from native plants, such as a mix of prairie grasses in the U.S. Midwest. Or such fuels can be made from waste: corn stalks, leftover wood from timber production or even city garbage.
But that will not slake a significant portion of the growing thirst for transportation fuels. "If we convert every corn kernel grown today in the U.S. to ethanol we offset just 12 percent of our gasoline use," notes ecologist Jason Hill of the University of Minnesota. "The real benefit to these advanced biofuels may not be in displacement of fossil fuels but in the building up of carbon stores in the soil."
Of course, there is another reason for biofuels: energy independence. "Biofuels like ethanol are the only tool readily available that can begin to address the challenge of energy security," Bob Dinneen, president of industry group the Renewable Fuels Association said in a statement. "The alternative is to continue to exploit increasingly costlier fossil fuels for which the environmental price tag will be great."
But the environmental price tag of biofuels now joins the ranks of other, cheaper domestic fuel sources—such as coal-to-liquid fuel—as major sources of globe-warming pollution as well as unintended social consequences. As a result, 10 prominent scientists have written a letter to President Bush and other government leaders urging them to "shape policies to assure that government incentives for biofuels do not increase global warming."
"We shouldn't abandon biofuels," Searchinger says. But "you don't solve global warming by going in the wrong direction."

Chances are, you stumble upon a lot of articles during the day that look interesting, but that you don't have time to read right now. Lots of services have cropped up to solve this problem, and today we're looking at the most popular three and pitting them against one another: Read It Later, Instapaper, and Readability. Here's how they stack up.
We've touched on this subject once before, but with the well-known Readability service finally releasing apps for iOS and Android, we thought it time to take another look. Even if you've been using one of the above apps for awhile, a lot has changed, and Readability does shake things up a bit. Here's a quick look at what each service offers, and who would be best suited to each app.
Read It Later
Read It Later was the first of these bookmark and read later services, and as such has an impressive spread of supported devices and apps. It may not be the prettiest, but it has some nice organization features and has great support for embedded video.
Supported Devices: Read It Later has official clients for iOS, Android, the Kindle Fire, and the web. There are also third party clients for Windows Phone and WebOS available.
Supported Apps: Read it Later has, by a good margin, the most support among third party apps. If you want to save articles from Pulse, Flipboard, the Onion, TweetBot, the Alien Blue Reddit Client, and other apps, Read It Later is the service to use. It does have official extensions for Chrome and Firefox as well, plus a bookmarklet that works in any browser and a save-by-email function for everything else. You can view the full list of supported apps here.
Interface & Features: If you buy the pro version of the app, you're also privy to some nice features, includeing the ability to share articles via email, Twitter, Google Reader, and lots of other services. It's social features sadly don't go very far beyond that, but it's support for embedded video is awesome, and something you can't get in the other two apps. It also includes a one touch rotation lock, a tagging system for organizing your reading list, and more. Its feature list isn't quite as impressive as Instapaper's, and its interface isn't quite as good-looking, but the embedded video support is enough to make it a serious competitor. It's also the only client that doesn't downsize all of the images in a given article, which is a nice touch.
Price: The Read It Later service is free, but the iOS and Android apps cost $ 2.99 for the pro versions. The free versions are hardly worth using, since they're stripped of all their useful features, but it's nice to have them there if you want to play with the interface before you decide to buy it.
Who Should Use It: When in doubt, Read It Later probably supports your device of choice and the apps you use. It has a solid feature set and a more-than-good-enough interface, plus it's supported by nearly everyone that supports a bookmark and read later app. It isn't my first choice, but if Instapaper and Readability don't cut it for any reason, Read It Later will.
Instapaper has a nice interface and some very cool advanced features, but its biggest strength lies in its article discovery. Not only can you save articles you found on the web, but the ability to follow your friends on Instapaper is a great way to pick up a few more, plus the Editor's Picks help you find articles you wouldn't have otherwise read. It's mainly focused on the Mac and iOS side of things, but has a lot of third party support on other platforms too.
Supported Devices: Instapaper officially only supports iOS, the Kindle, and its web interface, though you can get third party clients for Android and other platforms like Windows Phone 7. You can also export your articles in ePub format, for use on any ereader that supports it.
Supported Apps: Instapaper doesn't have quite as many supported apps as Read It Later, and many of them are iOS and Mac apps (like Reeder, NetNewsWire, and Twitter), but the list is still impressive. You can also submit articles via a bookmarklet or by email. Check out Instapaper's list of supported apps for more information.
Interface & Features: Instapaper's interface on iOS is fantastic, though it's web interface is pretty ugly (not to mention confusing). Still, if you're using it on iOS, it gives you six different typefaces to choose from, a dark mode for reading at night, and other little readability tweaks. It also has a very cool tilt scrolling function, that lets you tilt your device to scroll up and down. It can share articles via email, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, and others, plus it lets you follow other Instapaper users and read their "liked" articles. I've noticed it has more issues parsing certain complicated web pages (like Lifehacker, for instance), which is kind of a bummer—but the rest of the interface is fantastic enough that I almost don't notice. Lastly, it lets you organize your articles into folders, which is great if you tend to keep a bunch on hand for later access.
Price: The Instapaper service is free, but the iOS app is $ 4.99. In addition, if you want to read your Instapaper articles on other devices (like Android), you'll have to subscribe to their $ 1/month pro service, which also gets you article search, better Kindle support, and more.
Who Should Use It: If you're a Mac and iOS user, this is definitely the app to go with. Even if you aren't, though, I'd highly recommend giving Instapaper a serious look. It's the priciest of all the options, but it also has a great feature set and lots of configurability. You'll definitely want to check and make sure all your favorite apps support it, though, which can be a bit more difficult if you're an Android user.
Readability has always been a big name in making web articles more readable, but it's way behind the times on the bookmark service and mobile apps. Still, while it may not be as mature and feature-filled as its cousins, it might be the best looking of them all—plus it's completely and 100% free.
Supported Devices: Readability supports iOS and Android devices, and it has extensions for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, plus the usual bookmarklets and add-by-email features.
Supported Apps: Readability's new, so don't expect to see a ton of support around your favorite apps just yet. Certain apps, like Pulse, Reeder, Tweetbot, and Ubersocial all work with Readability, but not much else. Check out Readability's apps page for more info, and keep an eye out for more widespread support now that Readability finally has a few mobile apps out.
Interface & Features: Readability is straight up gorgeous. When it comes to looks, it's only slightly better than Instapaper, but its usability is where it really shines. Your controls stay out of your way when you read, only popping up when you tap on the page, and you can swipe to the left to go back to your reading list. The animations are smooth and the typeface options are great, plus you can share to Twitter, Facebook, and email. It doesn't have any standout features, unfortunately (it doesn't even support folders), so you'll have to be a big fan of UI design to appreciate it. But, if you don't need the extra features of Read It Later and Instapaper, this is where it's at.
Price: The service and its mobile apps are all completely free.
Who Should Use It: If you don't need integration with all your other apps—just a browser bookmarklet and maybe a Twitter app—Readability is a great choice. Its interface is probably the best of the bunch, and it supports both iOS and Android. If you're looking for extra features, though, you can probably write off Readability right now—it's far too young compared to the others, and doesn't have nearly the feature set or widespread support that they do. This is the perfect bookmark and read later app for your grandma, but not for the app-hungry power user—yet. Keep an eye on this one, because with time, new features could tip the scales in its favor.
So which one is best? Per usual, it's impossible to say. I'm really digging Readability right now, despite its lack of features, and it's a close call between it and Instapaper (as long as you're doing your reading on iOS). Read It Later is king when it comes to support from other apps and for other devices, so if you're sharing articles from all over the place—especially ones that contain embedded video—it might win out over the other two. Try them all out to see what you like best, and if you have a favorite, tell us why you love it in the comments below.

Facing pressure from Republican heavyweights in Washington to abandon his Missouri Senate bid, Rep. Todd Akin is huddling with top conservative activists in Tampa to assess whether to move forward with his embattled candidacy.
Akin spent Wednesday night and Thursday in a series of private meetings at the two-day summit of the Council For National Policy (CNP), a secretive group of conservative leaders who are meeting in Florida before next week's Republican National Convention.
The congressman was scheduled to attend the conference long before he suggested that "legitimate rape" might not cause a woman to become pregnant, comments that have roiled the Republican Party and shifted the focus of the presidential race away from the economy and toward the divisive social issue of abortion - just days before the GOP officially nominates Mitt Romney as its standard-bearer.
On Thursday, the Capitol Police said "an active, open investigation" was under way regarding a reported threat against Akin. The investigation included the FBI, the Capitol Police spokeswoman said.
Multiple sources at the CNP conference told CNN that Akin is being encouraged by leading figures in the conservative movement to remain in the Senate race even as he faces pressure from Republican establishment.
Still, several of the activists and conservative thought leaders here acknowledged the long odds he faces.
One person attending the summit said many were "spooked" by a poll out Thursday that showed Akin trailing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill by 10 points, an unthinkable scenario just one week ago.
Asked if Akin is using the meetings to re-evaluate his decision to stay in the Missouri race, a source close to the congressman told CNN that he is "keeping an open ear to those people who are pushing him or questioning him on viability."
But the source stressed that Akin is "getting a ton of support" from conservatives at the conference.
"He is down there to get input from a group of people who care about the things he cares about," the Akin source told CNN.
Several of the conservatives attending the conference - most of whom refused to speak on the record because of the secretive nature of the CNP -- expressed resentment at the aggressive and heavy-handed treatment of Akin by Republican leaders in Washington who have pressured him to quit the Missouri race.
At least two people at the conference named Karl Rove, a co-founder of the powerful 527 group American Crossroads, as a specific source of frustration.
Rove's relationship with the activist wing of his party has grown frosty over the years, and sources backing Akin said they might not be rallying to his side with such vigor if Rove was not among those pushing Akin to get out.
Participants in Thursday's meetings, though, said support for Akin was not universal among conservatives.
Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission at the Southern Baptist Convention, said that while Akin misspoke and has been treated "unfairly," he should still drop out.
"I think it splits the social conservative movement," Land told CNN. "Some people say, 'Look, he is our guy, we are going to stand with him. We think he can win.' And some people are saying, 'The odds are this is a fatal blow at least in this election cycle.' For the good of the movement, for the good of the pro life cause, for the good of taking control of the senate for pro life forces, he needs to do what's best for the cause and throw himself on his shield."
Akin addressed a small dinner on Wednesday night but made no direct mention of the scandal engulfing his campaign, two sources present for that session told CNN.
The congressman, who has deep ties to the Christian right, is also hosting an invitation-only reception on Thursday evening.
But much of the discussion about the future of his campaign is taking place during face-to-face meetings with top leaders in the conservative movement attending the CNP summit, being held at a hotel near Tampa International Airport.
Ralph Reed, the founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, was among those who spoke privately with Akin on Thursday.
"I'm absolutely confident that congressman Akin and his team, and he's got a good team around him, are going to be able to make a thorough assessment of whether or not the support is there to be able to continue the campaign," Reed told CNN. "I'm really going to defer to his judgment on it."
Reed declined to reveal details of their conversation, but made plain his sympathy for Akin: "As a general rule, I have devoted my career to encouraging men and women of faith to run for office. I don't encourage men and women of faith not to run."
Along with Land and Reed, the conference was attended by Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly, direct mail specialist Richard Viguerie, National Rifle Association Chairman David Keene, former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton, pollster Kellyanne Conway, Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, Americans United For Life founder Charmaine Yoest, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and many others.
Also present were a fleet of talk radio hosts, communications consultants, school reform activists and several Republican political operatives.
Little is known about the CNP, aside from a website which describes its members as "the country's most influential conservative leaders in business, government, politics and religion."
New members must be vouched for and invited by current ones. One person described CNP meetings as a "media free zones" where conservatives can network and strategize freely.
Even members of the group who spoke to CNN anonymously were hesitant to discuss the group, or anything related to the Akin controversy.
"I can't talk about what they talk about here, it's all confidential," said one CNP participant. "Sorry."
When Akin was approached by a CNN camera while sitting on a veranda Thursday outside the hotel, an aide quickly moved to block the photographer's shot.

Keystone Stories

Judy Sweeney
Education Instructor
"Keystone instructor and daughter combine talents to publish a book on table settings."
For Keystone College education instructor Judy Sweeney, a dining room table is much more than a place to sit down and eat a quick meal. With the right amount of care and creativity, it can be transformed into a work of art that can make dining at home a uniquely enjoyable experience.
Judy's daughter, Rachel Sweeney, believes that taking photographs is more than just a way to record a history of people or events. Great photography can tell a meaningful story or make a seemingly routine experience take on a life of its own.
Judy and Rachel have combined their talents to create the book, "My Favorite Thing About Cooking Is …. Setting the Table."
Judy, director of field and student teaching at Keystone, decorates tables using seasonal themes. Since the themes are driven by the seasons, they are highlighted in the book by poetry.
For example, the centerpiece for the September table came fresh from the Farmers' Market to highlight the end of the summer growing season and the beginning of fall. The October table continues the autumn theme, with a little bit of glamour. Other winter, spring and summer months are featured according to what the particular time of year dictates. Photographs are taken by Rachel, who works as a professional photographer for Julie Jordan Photography in Clarks Summit. Judy also writes a blog about her table settings at http://www.ourhousefordinner.blogspot.com.
"For many years, I've loved to cook and entertain friends and family at dinner," said Judy, a Scranton resident. "During that time, I've learned that an attractively set table can really create the tone for an entire evening. Even more importantly, it can create a wonderful opportunity for family and friends to share valuable conversation and laughter."
Rachel's photography brings Judy's passion for fine table settings to life.
"I want to do more than just take a photo of a decorated table," she says. "My mom's message is that you don't always have to go out and buy things to express yourself. Often there are things around your home that can be used on the table and will have a special meaning. I want to help convey that message in my photography."
Besides being a work of art, the project has enabled Judy and Rachel to combine their talents to form a great mother-daughter team.
"Having the chance to work with my Mom has been a lot of fun," says Rachel. "We both have the opportunity to express ourselves in a way that we really love."
"I really enjoy creating beautiful table settings and sharing them with others," says Judy. "Having the chance to work with Rachel has made this journey even more special."

Last month RIM officially launched the BlackBerry Playbook tablet with WiFi connectivity. We take a closer look at the PlayBook in the video below. The 7-inch tablet is fairly lightweight and purse-friendly. We were particularly impressed with the screen and video playback. The user interface is fairly intuitive and speedy (read: no lag time switching between screens and running apps). Although you can do more with the tablet if you have a BlackBerry cell phone, you definitely don't need one to get a lot out of using the Playbook. So, is this the tablet for you? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Best Answer
I have about 7 gameboys but they are all gameboy sp's which are much better than the original gameboy
Question Author
I had to google them, I didn't like the look of those ones but don't doubt they're better than the one I'm getting. I was just going to get the basic original but got talked in to colour. I'm on a bit of a trip down memory lane so am very chuffed, this is the one I am getting:
http://www.google.co....21&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0 |
I like that, you can get plenty of games via ebay and amazon.
I used to have one in the 90s but I think I only use to play tetris on it during my 10 min break at work. sounds quite depressing when I think about it ;) |
I had a gameboy back in the 90s. I had loads of games like Tetris, Jurasic Park, Dracula and others. Then I got a Sega MegaDrive and the novelty of the gameboy wore off. I've got a DS which plays gameboy games and the one I like is Banjo Tooie which is a platform roleplay game.
Question Author
Not that depressing, I might take mine to play on the train to work... and maybe lunch time too if I like it...
That all sounds way too advanced for a games simpleton like me triggs, I still like playing the dots game on AB, although I win every time now so not much of a challenge. |
Question Author
(And it gets rid of the rudies in latest posts :c) |
Just sold a Sega game gear on Ebay :-)
Question Author
Snags and I were discussing sonic the hedgehog v Mario earlier, I fall in the Mario camp... He's in the sonic camp... as usual he is wrong. ;0)
-- answer removed -- |
Wario 3 was pretty good on the GB colour.
Get Zelda: Links Awakening DX - it's pretty much the best Zelda game ever made. |
I really want to get a Mega Drive. I'm definitely in the Sonic camp, you can't beat the classics.
Saying that, I do get a bit addicted to Mario Kart! |
Sonic > Mario.
But who would win in a fight???
Question Author
Mario would win!
I'm thinking of getting that Zelda game but it looks complex for me.. |
I got a few old original gameboys boxed (release box as there were many box designs). I also have mk1 and mk2 atari lynx. few playstations, NES, game gear and a few others. all still get played very much when I have time.
can't beat the retro games. |
It's not really China, you'd love it, even if it just the chicken abuse.
Question Author
I had an atari when I was younger too :c)
Chicken abuse? Why do I now feel the urge to start battering ChuckFickens? |
Zelda is brilliant CD. I've completed Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass but that was on DS.

More reviews by Angelaamorton24
It was an alright product... I find if you are constantly using it every week, your nails will just keep breaking off and getting dryer. But for a normal base coat.. It works a lot better because the polish makes the nail a little stronger against breakage !
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Amazing stuff! I was having my nails done all the time for a while and they became dry and brittle and broke easily.. . it was disgusting and horrible, could not even wear nail polish.
I started using this and have been for years now - I have tried all the different ones from original to matte. I don't see much difference between them so from now on I stick to the just the original formula.
It doesn't instantly fix the problem but after a week or two my nails were stronger and could actually grow a bit without breaking right off. I use this as "maintenance" now every time I change my nail colour. It is pricey but I have never found anything that works as well as this so I will keep re-purchasing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It doesn't make for much of a top coat, but this stuff does what it says it will. I can definitely see that my nails grow longer, and are in better health (less chips, thick, smooth surface) with just applying every four days or so. I generally use it as a base coat for when I'm painting my nails.
The formula spreads well. It hasn't got a lot of luster, but it dries SUPER fast. If you're doing a plain coat of clear it'll do the job, but anything else I'd use Seche Vite as the top coat.
This stuff is amaaaaaazing! I have super brittle nails that tend to peel and this helped with that so much! My nails feels significantly stronger when I use this and I find that my nails didn't peel as much too. I also find that my nails didn't turn as yellow when I used this aswell. This is definitely a must have for me!
This is my Holy Grail nail strengthening product, which I also use as a base coat. I have also used the Matte formulation, which I like less than the original. The original formula is a fast-drying product that is very effective for my nails, which are prone to softness and peeling. The condition of my nails has increased dramatically and I do not need to buff my nails any more for a smooth finish.
Pros: Lovely subtle shine, can double as topcoat, do not need much for strengthening, prevents peeling, nails remain flexible, when used as a base coat polish chips less, not stain prone.
Cons: Retail price is too high (can be found for ~$6 online, vs. $17 retail), instructions can lead to overuse (calls for 5 coats over the course of a week).
I have been using this treatment for years now and would hate to be without it. With continued use I have seen long nails that retain their flexibility and remain bright and strong. Unfortunately, as with many products, continued use is the only way to assure that these effects will last. I find that going without it for more than a week leaves my nails peel prone and soft.

Not a great deal to say about this except for it does what it claims to, dries quickly and is a great base - I use this every time I give myself a manicure before applying nail polish. I find that my nails still snap at the corners occasionally (with a square shape) but this is much less frequent since starting to use Nail Envy. As for the price, it is a little steep but one bottle lasts for months. Excellent product!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great product. It made a difference very quickly and nails grew very fast. Only downside was it seemed to make them break once before then going on to make them stronger than before and with next to no breaking. Doesn't seem to have a lasting effect, though, you have to keep using it to maintain results. Definitely worth a try!
My nails have never been fast-growing or especially strong, but after having a gel manicure go slightly wrong, they seemed very thin too. I did research online and bought Nail Envy to help speed up the recovery process. I used the product religiously for a month and it did seem to make my nails grow faster. However, I noticed my nails were peeling terribly, which has never happened before. I kept using Nail Envy, thinking the peeling was related to the damage from the gel manicure. Still more peeling. I finally gave up on Nail Envy after 2-3 months of use. Now, two month later, my nails are finally back to their original, semi-healthy state. I'm not 100% sure that it was the Nail Envy that caused the peeling, but the stories here confirm my suspicions.
I have alway had soft nails that chip and split easily. I've been using this product now for three years and would never want to be without it. It goes on beautifully and dries quickly. Not only does it make my manicures last longer, my nails do not chip or split. In fact, as soon as I take my nail polish off and leave my nails bare for a few days, my nails become brittle and chip. This product keeps my nails soft and strong, chip and split free.
As a nail biter for as long as I can remember, deciding to force myself to stop by always keeping some form of nail polish on has been the only solution I've ever gotten to work. I got my nails to grow out, but working a somewhat labor-intensive job meant that almost every time I worked, one or two of my nails broke off (not to mention the constant peeling). With Nail Envy, I'd say I was really pleased with the results after the first week. I used it as the only product on my nails for about three weeks, before I stopped using it for a while and started just painting them again. I'm happy to say that my nails stay strong when I go back to regular polishes. After a while, if I poke at my nails too much, they might start to peel again, at which point I begin treating them again. I haven't had a broken nail in months! In fact, my nails got long enough that I had to cut them because they started getting in the way.
I recommend that anyone with dry, peeling, bendy nails gives this product a shot. It's not expensive, and it might work wonders for you.

This place is great if you like books at a great price! Be sure to allow enough time to explore the whole place, because it is huge!
This place is great if you like books at a great price! Be sure to allow enough time to explore the whole place, because it is huge!
Even better than Half Price Book!! If you love to read, it's the place for you! If you are a parent or teacher, you can't pass up the wonderful selection and great value!!!
Come with some time to spare. It's easy to wander at Recycled Books, with each shelf holding a new and different find.
A wonderful place to explore for books,cd's,records. Sometimes I find nothing of interest to me and other times some great treasures.
This is a fun place on the Denton square to go & just wander around. Some really great finds & worth the look.
Don't expect to have an "in & out" experience here. Once inside, the selections of topics is almost overwhelming. Not only are there books of every topic and description, but you'll find a wonderful selection of cassette music tapes and video cassettes of every genre, CD's DVD's, of all types. "How to books", technical manuals, self improvement, you name it... More
This place was gynormous! I just walked in here to kill some time and ended up loosing track of time and was in there for almost 2 hours!
Recycled Books is the best part of living in Denton. It has a great selection with good turnover. With five major universities within about 40 miles, it ends up with an impressive collection of books. Go to dinner on the square (or nearby), have ice cream at Beth Marie's, then end the evening at Recycled.
Recycled Books is a very unusual store. My favorite bookstore in the world is City Lights in San Fransisco, and I've got to say that it lots of ways, Recycled is Denton's little City Lights! Plenty of used books of all subjects. The building used to be a clothing store, I think, so it's a real maze of small rooms,... More
Take your time here. It's one of those places you can spend all day looking around.love the quirky feel

Don't feel bad about not parting with your three "girls"...I wouldn't part with them either. They are so hard to come by and each one has a sentimental value to use. And heck, they don't take up much floor space...ha!
