Leonie's small blog island says hullo! (:
Hello! In terrible awe from the generous, encouraging support to my previous blog post on the Gunblocks game & on Melbourne #GGJ15. Thank you again! :D
I've changed up the ordering of my blog content this time around.
Goodbye to "Let's go crazy! Journal time!" though.
Lastly, I find our game's Hungry Birds name hilarious and silly but that's just me. We might change it to Hungry Birds Party or similar as there's another game with the same name out there but we'll let you know.
Improving the Hungry Birds Party Game (v1)!
|Play Hungry Birds v1! You're hungry aren't you?
Still in development so feel free to keep tabs & give us feedback on the facebook page or email!

Look how good technology is these days!! :O
This #GGJ15 prototype game (see last time's post) became a team project that we wanted to keep working on. I worked with James, Jayden plus the new addition of music thanks to Attrayoo.
This is a "Multiplayer co-op/survival party game. Work with or against your siblings as you eat & survive on an unstable plate! Don't let Mother Bird down!"
Play Hungry Birds version 1 (Co-op Mode Only)!
Suggestions & feedback will be taken up via the facebook page or email at email@example.com!
Three to four X-box/gamepad controllers are ideal but a normal keyboard for a 2 player setup works too (just make sure you check the keyboard inputs)!
In terms of further versions, nothing confirmed yet as it's still in development whenever there's time to.
Keep updated on https://www.facebook.com/HbirdsGame to support us to keep working at it. (:
What Playtesters thought so far
|Getting it tested with up to 4 people
According to people playing it:
- Super fun game
- Awesome art
- People wanted to knock everyone else off and claim their territory
- Great, super cute little game
- People wanted to be the fattest bird of them all
- Felt too long as the Co-op Mode was easy; especially with 4 players who all worked together to survive
- People wanted to compete from the start until they realised it was co-op much later
- And other technical nitpicks and difficulty tweaks needed
So encouraging and thank you to those who had a go at our game!
The highest Co-op score was at an incredible 623!
We've only got Co-op mode at the moment but we plan to keep tweaking, working at it and add that much needed *Versus Mode*!
The Hungry Birds Art MakingI redid almost all of the art assets of the prototype. Some of the following might not even be used or will be subject to change as things still need tweaking and changing while *Co-op* and *Forever Huge Modes* are now being figured out.
But this gives you the gist of where we're heading.
So here goes!
First up WALLPAPERS/Backgrounds!
Open it up as a new tab to get them:
Animated Spritesheets
|The Mother Bird
|Animated Awkward Yellow baby bird sheet
The Game Menus & Mode Layout
|New Credits Screen
|Main Menu Screen: Animated
|VERSUS Mode Select Screen (Selected)
|VERSUS Mode Select Screen (No players selected)
|Crazy CO-OP Mode
|CO-OP Mode Game over screen
|FOREVER HUGE Mode Select Screen
|FOREVER HUGE Mode
Miscellaneous Art
|New Hungry Birds icon
Hungry Birds: Where to from here?
At the moment, it's being worked on when possible.
If this ever does reach completion, we are keen to see how interested people are in downloading and playing the game as it gets further developed. And more testing and feedback along the way!
Again, if you're interested in testing and playing it when more versions are ready, we have a facebook page at the moment: https://www.facebook.com/HbirdsGame
It has been a long while since I did any form of art assets for a game. I had loads of fun and was keen to see this through to the end.
Just like Footsteps, I just worked on this game because I wanted to see people having fun and engaged with it. (:
Year 2, Weeks 3 & 4 (28th Jan to 10th Feb)
Hey there! Here is where the usual content begins! Pleased to have you here!
Leonie Yue's Sketchbook
|Remember Selene I designed a month ago?
|Boop de boop! Well here she is, animated with a bounce in her walk!
I'm an animation newbie though. I realise now that her foot is doing something off...or is it just a bouncy silly walk? Yeah that's what it is. :P
|The usual reference figure studies! Hello!
|Faster Pages now
|Using old texta again because I need to do something physical.
Another 15+ year old texta returns.

- Apotheon: wonderful art and story vibes
- Majora's mask acapella: just because
- Close Your Trailer: interesting story based experience (just a snippet of the whole game)
- Healthwise: Sleeping patterns crazy. Standing as I work much much more. Sitting too long makes me worse sometimes oddly enough.
- Games (played) - I tweet about it sometimes
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: A wonderful delight!
- Hyrule Warriors DLC: Tried Young Link and Tingle; WHOA! :D
- Armello: Yes! Played with my bro for my 2nd time and he wins his first time playing. What...! He insists that the Prestige method of winning is the worst and most unskilled way of winning because you're simply waiting it out as you try to stay Rot-less. Meanwhile, I kept being beaten up by Thane. It was fun but after thinking back, a bit of "salt"/"fist shaking indignation" was felt. Haha
- The Long Way: (GGJ15 Sydney) I got a fatal ending as you're never sure if there is a right answer (a lot of guessing what the game wants from you with the dialogue) but the retro graphics, atmosphere and the mood of the music are so good! I really struggled with finding what the word was.
- Rescue Squad (GGJ15 MelbGGJ): I got to control the ship on the 3 player co-op shooter game!
- OMG CYCLOPS! (GGJ15 MelbGGJ): I died early by not being a coward.
- SAVE PRESIDENT! (GGJ15 MelbGGJ): Neon graphics upgrade! I gave some feedback and it plays/looks better than the time I played on my own.
- Step Up Space (GGJ15 MelbGGJ): I died due to the groovyness of my frantic dance. Survival, damage control game between dancers and AI.
- Other random things I find at the fun blog
Reflection: One door closes, another opens...?
And then this door shuts at your face. It hurts. But you get up and strive to find another way. Don't give up just yet! Life just happens that way and never turns out what you have planned.
The John Lennon quote, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.," comes to mind. (Thanks Life Is Strange! Heheh!)
I agree; proceed forward with set goals in mind but stay flexible when unexpected things happen. Go by or against the flow; whichever aligns with your belief. Many more doors are ready to slam in your face but there is that one chance that you could walk through one of them!
You can say that there have been some doors shut in my face (life in general) but I got to peek through a few windows! Keeps things in perspective.
And I am ever so grateful for the opportunity so this is nothing against anyone or the circumstances which presented me these magical doors! The special rare ones are stacked with locks, puzzles, traps, warning signs, vague prophecies and illusions too before it can be opened!
I got to test the limits of my door opening skills. I learned some lessons. Things just doesn't work out sometimes and so you allow those feelings to build and strengthen your resolve to move on and keep going. Don't take it too personal and serious as they say. Spend time elsewhere.
That's how it goes for a lot of us. So many inspiring people who have done so time and time again; we'll just have to keep walking this long hallway of life where random doors sometimes appear in front of us. (:
Wow. Probably too metaphorical; food for thought! We're deep into February now!
Hey you; yes you! Thank you! :D
Social media is really an universe of almost all lurkers and an overwhelming beast for me. I'm a somewhat-out-of-the-loop lurker too. Everyone's time is scarce. And usually it can't be taken too seriously as people often go for short, attention grabbing bursts of entertaining/brief updates, links, online drama, work, images, videos and what not (promotional, personal or not).
Because of this, I am horribly repetitive in my thanks but I am truly grateful that you're spending the time with me during any of my blog posts. Not saying that I don't tweet randomly or post on facebook a bit; they still do have their place for any brief spontaneous things I want to say at least!
Ultimately, I'll have this main blog I'll go back to...to ruminate my life and it's a pleasure to have you along for the ride. Plus, I enjoy blogging so, so much! Feel free to comment below as always!
On labeling Weeks and Years of regular blogging
I don't even have them in the blog post titles nowadays; it doesn't matter. Mostly because I enjoy blogging already and it's an ingrained habit for me. I'm not going to give numbers that much importance anymore. Initially it was there to mostly tell myself that I will do this regularly else I'll dishonour myself (haha). It still lives in the url address and the heading above though.
I'm not removing it completely because it continues to remind me on how much so-called "official regular blogging years" are behind me for the sake of milestones. I really will forget otherwise. I tend to not dwell too long into the past if I could help it so in a subtle way, it directs me as it is and reminds me to keep going. I don't register in my head the number actually until a milestone comes about.
The past 2 weeks:"I'm really feeling it!"
Xenoblade Chronicles quote (hey, I watch loads of gameplay; what can I say)! Even if I'm not feeling it, I'll have to! It's the way of being disciplined as they say. As much as the advice of doing what you love is bounced around throughout the ages (including from me), the reality is that not everything is fun, easy and dandy but you get it done and make it at least tolerable anyway.
If what you're doing is what you believe in, keep going! :D Try it and give it your all!
That's the gist of the past few weeks; it's been a mixture of crazy keenness of arting for Hungry Birds and then trying to land back to what I was previously doing and juggling/changing things up so that I'm not being unrealistic time management wise. Realigning things with my goals.
The February monthly Hermit Derpcast is coming next Friday! Have yet to make it! But I'll keep nitpicking it until I find a show format I like. (:
Thank you for your company!

Memory loss is the first symptom of dementia. Other symptoms of dementia include difficulty remembering recent events, difficulty finding the right words, problems regulating emotions, an inability to use good judgment when needed, and a lack of personal hygiene, according to WebMD.
Falling, hallucinations and personality changes are less common symptoms of dementia, notes WebMD. Some of these symptoms overlap with symptoms of depression and other disorders.
Common causes of irreversible dementia are Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia and severe head injury, adds WebMD. Vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the most common causes of irreversible dementia. Patients presenting symptoms of early-onset Alzheimer's are likely to have an inherited form of the disease. Late-stage syphillis, multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, leukoencephalopathies and Huntington's disease are rarer causes of irreversible dementia.
Some forms of dementia are reversible if there is a treatable cause, advises WebMD. Vitamin deficiencies, heavy metal poisoning, hypothyroidism, alcoholism and encephalitis are treatable causes of dementia. HIV/AIDS is another treatable cause.
People who suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or atherosclerosis have an increased risk of vascular dementia, notes WebMD. Older adults have the highest risk of developing symptoms of dementia. Men also have a higher risk of developing symptoms.

I am fused t6 to sacrum, and I am able to do all the things you are asking about except for riding a horse. But I only rode a horse once in my life before the surgery and don't have any interest in trying it now.
I do zumba, weights, swim, can walk very long distance. My feet will get tired, but no back pain, knock on the wood. Driving, sitting for long hours is totally fine. I have a sitting job and often work long hours, again my brains would go on break, but my back doesn't bother me. I am very blessed and unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as I am. I am forever grateful to Dr. Serena Hu.
It's a difficult decision to make, wishing you the best.
I am stronger than scoliosis, and won't let it rule my life!

No. 22 Temple 62, Seton Hall 56
Midway through the first half the Temple offense was struggling
and forward Lavoy Allen was on the bench in foul trouble.
No problem for coach Fran Dunphy and the Owls as their stingy
defense took over.
Ramone Moore scored 14 points and No. 22 Temple held Seton Hall
without a field goal for nine minutes in a 62-56 victory Friday
night in the season opener for both teams.
"I don't know we should be living on that," Dunphy said.
"Lavoy's too valuable a guy for us. I was proud how we managed the
second half of the first half. For a first game I was thrilled to
get it."
Juan Fernandez had 12 points while Rahlir Jefferson had 10
points and 10 rebounds for the Owls.
Jeremy Hazell scored 17 points for Seton Hall, which lost in the
debut of coach Kevin Willard. He took over in March after former
coach Bobby Gonzalez was fired. Willard had been the head coach at
Iona for three years.
He got an immediate boost when Hazell, Herb Pope and Jeff
Robinson decided to come back instead of entering the NBA draft.
The three weren't enough to help him win the opener.
Willard can take heart that his team didn't quit, trailing by 16
points with 4:16 left. The Pirates scored the next 12 points to cut
their deficit to 60-56 with 15.4 left.
That's as close as they would get.
"I'm still getting used to these guys a little bit," Willard
said. "Opening here is not where you want to get used to
Trailing 18-13 midway through the first half, Fernandez and
Temple took over. After a basket by Jefferson, Fernandez hit a
leaner in the lane that made it 18-17.
Pope answered with a jump hook with 8:15 left that made it
20-17. That would be the last field goal that the Pirates would hit
in the half as Temple scored the next 17 points.
"In that 17-0 run we got ourselves in trouble taking some bad
shots," Willard said. "They did a good job getting out on the
break and attacking us. It was bad offense as opposed to good
Fernandez started that burst with a 3-pointer and followed with
a tough turnaround jumper on the baseline. Khalif Wyatt's nifty
three-point play with 1:23 left in the half capped the spurt and
made it 34-20.
Polynice hit four straight free throws to bring the Pirates
within 34-24 at halftime. Seton Hall missed its last 10 shots of
the half and first three after the break before Fuquan Edwin's
layup 42 seconds into the second half made it 34-26.
Moore answered with five quick points sandwiched around Pope's
3-pointer to restore the double-digit lead.
Seton Hall wouldn't get within 10 points until Jamel Jackson hit
a deep 3-pointer with 1:07 left that made it 60-51. After a Temple
turnover, Hazell followed with another 3-pointer with 30 seconds
Fernandez missed a free throw and Robinson's layup on the other
end cut it to 60-56 with 17.8 seconds left. After two timeouts, the
Pirates had a chance to foul, but let too much time run off the
clock before finally fouling Fernandez with 1.9 seconds left. He
made both for the final margin.
"I wouldn't say we were worried at the end," Fernandez said.
"I missed the first shot of a 1-and-1 and they made deep shots at
the end."
The Owls, who were third in the nation last season in scoring
defense, held Seton Hall to just 30 percent shooting.
The Pirates averaged 80.1 points last season – eighth-best in
the country.
Temple, which has won three straight Atlantic 10 titles,
unveiled last season's championship banner before the game. The
Owls lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Cornell last

I'm sure we've all had it up to here with boat shoes. Everywhere I turn here in Manila, I see men sporting Topsiders, Docksides, or any other brand that now manufactures them all of a sudden. Now don't get me wrong, this is not an assault against boaties (I'm actually wearing mine now). All I'm saying is that it has become what skinny jeans were in 2008 - a trend embraced by all to the point of being uniform-y.
It doesn't always need to be like this, though. A quick solution to avoid looking like everyone else's feet is to get a pair that is of a different make and/or tells a different color story. Unfortunately for us Filipinos, I only found these traits in the Sperry Topsiders I found in D-Mop in Silvercord Mall, Hong Kong. The store (which also carries Puma, Adidas, Y3) had these wonderful 'Siders in white felt on white soles and brown nubuck on tan soles, which provided enough differences to be relevant. No, I didn't get them, but I wanted to (only P3,234 a pair!). If only I didn't discover "the pair" I would've nabbed these babies. What "the pair" is, you'll find out in the coming days.

I have a lead that runs through my block of flats to what I suppose is an aerial in the loft in my neighbours property (I'm not sure) with a proper aerial socket in my living room.
It was working on a few channels, but ones like Dave, Pick & Quest were pixelating something fierce.
So, I Popped to Wickes and invested in an all singing all dancing High Gain Freeview Digital Aerial and I've been up a ladder sorting it out all day. Absolutely pointless, because it remained exactly the same.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
So, I put it all down to a shit signal area.
This evening, in my wisdom and by pure luck, I thought "Let me try ramming a fork in the end of the aerial cable to see what happens".
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
(Notice the signal strength on the TV - top bar, it was Red and at around a quarter with both 'Aerials' earlier.
When I put it down - perhaps I'm earthed or something, it jumped to the full bar!!!
Go figure, it's now setup that way permanently behind my sofa and needless to say, the aerial is going back tomorrow!
There is no trickery involved here and I am pissed that the fork behind my sofa (only touching the centre core of the aerial cable) has out performed the ACTUAL tool for the job!!!
Result now it's on the floor, tucked away under my sofa.

LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) – Christmas comes to Lufkin a week early Thurday morning for some patients at Memorial Hospital. The Panther baseball team was clutch today in making people smile while passing out autograph baseballs and hats. Today's trip to the hospital was part of a community outreach program.
"Last year we got a lot of support from the community in our state run and we just wanted to give back to some of the people that supported us. It's getting kind of close to Christmas time and a lot of people are lonely here at the hospital. We just wanted to show them our love shows them that we are here to support them to," Pitcher, first baseman Brian Roy said.
For marketing director Yana Ogletree she was extremely happy to see the pack make their presence felt.
"You know home is where you should be during the holidays but unfortunately some patients have to be in the hospital. So therefore we like to have the community groups come out such as the Lufkin Panther baseball team it's such a pleasure for them to have them visit our patients it means so much to them just the guys going into their rooms we had patients just light up when they saw them."
For some of the kids they met a former player that played some little league back in the day, but also met a Hall of Famer in his days in the military while stationed in Guam.
"I met a kid who was the drummer in the band that I played in when I was in Guam his name was Willie Mays from Kentucky." Grover Pendarland, 85 year old Crockett native said.
Lufkin baseball coach Clay Berry entering his sixth season as the Packs coach and state runners up from last season elaborates more on how this all came about.
"We like to get our kids out in the community and try to do a little community service so we brought them up here to the hospital saw a lot if joy in the guys eyes and the women's eyes as we went into the rooms you know that what it's all about and our guys know that it's not just about baseball but about sharing the gifts they have to others," Coach Berry said.

According to Chapter 25 of the Companies Act (2005:551), shareholders and representatives of limited liability companies may be jointly liable for the companies' debts if certain requirements are not met. For instance, if there is reason to believe that the total amount of equity falls below half of the registered share capital amount, a fixed liability period arises for the representatives and shareholders (subject to knowledge). During this period, a balance sheet for liquidation purposes must be prepared in order to avoid personal liability. Further, the balance sheet must be reviewed by the company's auditor. Finally, two control shareholder meetings must be conducted in order to decide whether the company should enter into liquidation.
In a recent case, a printing office filed a lawsuit against a woman who was jointly liable for a company's obligations, as she acted both as company shareholder and deputy director. Moreover, she had been an authorised company signatory. The printing office argued that the company had entered into a purchase agreement with the deputy director's knowledge, even though the total amount of equity had been reduced to less than half of the registered share capital and no balance sheet for liquidation purposes had been prepared. Hence, the obligations set forth in the act were not fulfilled and the company, which subsequently went bankrupt, could not fulfil its contractual promises in relation to the printing office.
However, the district court held that the printing office had lost its right to file a lawsuit in this regard because the claim was time barred. According to the Limitations Act (SFS 1981:130), a claim is time barred 10 years after its creation unless the limitation period is interrupted before that time. In this case, 10 years had elapsed and no valid interruption had been made. Further, the court held that personal liability for the shareholders and representatives is identical to and accessory with the liability of the company. This means that the obligations of the company lapsed due to a time bar, the same also applied to the jointly responsible person. The Court of Appeal(1) affirmed the district court's decision. The claim was therefore time barred and the deputy director was not liable for the company's debts.
With regard to limitation of joint liability, Section 20a has been added to Chapter 25 of the Companies Act. According to this new provision, joint liability shall be terminated three years after the "date on which the obligation to which the liability pertains was incurred, or within one year from the final date on which the obligation should have been fulfilled".(2) Thus, the Limitations Act (with its 10-year provision) shall not apply in such cases.

More than 2,000 people filled up Jeremy Greene's mansion in the Hollywood Hills on Friday night to celebrate the launch of his new social app PingTank. In attendance were Vine stars like Nash Grier, rapper OT Genasis, Kylie Jenner, Melanie Brown (a.k.a. Mel B of the Spice Girls) and other social media personalities
While lavish launch parties with high-profile guests are not out of the norm for hyped apps, what happened next is indicative of just how far these companies need to go to sustain the hype machine.
The party was well underway when two "cops" rushed in demanding to see Greene, PingTank's CEO. They pulled out tasers and pushed him to the ground. Just as the situation looked like it was about to get out of control, Greene jumped up and rapper Tyga — who was there with Jenner — hopped onto a counter to perform an impromptu four-song set.

Irish Pals Sell Laughs And Burgers in `The Van' / Frears' film lacks punch of `Snapper,' `Commitments'
THE VAN: Comedy. Starring Colm Meaney, Donal O'Kelly. Directed by Stephen Frears. (R. 100 minutes. At the Bridge.)
Opening today at the Bridge, "The Van" stars Colm Meaney ("The Commitments," "Con Air") and Dublin stage actor Donal O'Kelly as longtime pals Larry and Bimbo. Larry (Meaney), a stalwart type, is chronically unemployed but has learned to laugh it off, aided by a steady flow of pints at the neighborhood watering hole.
"The Van" is the final installment of the much-loved Barrytown series, based on novels by Ireland's Roddy Doyle, that began with Alan Parker's "The Commitments" and picked up with Frears' "The Snapper."
Like the others, this picture captures the sometimes roughshod environment of contemporary Irish middle-class life. It's ripe with an unblushing humanity, even if it is a little cloying at times. Yet for all the warm touches, "The Van" is not in the same league with its predecessors, which shined with deeper, more faceted heart and soul.
The new chapter, fun as it is, feels slightly underdeveloped, even a little underpopulated as it focuses a bit narrowly on how Larry and Bimbo bounce themselves out of unemployment. They hit on a harebrained scheme that leads to workaholic fervor as joint operators of a catering truck specializing in burgers and fried foods.
Frears ("My Beautiful Laundrette," "The Grifters") cast "The Van" brilliantly, however. There hasn't been a buddy picture in some time that clicks as entertainingly as this one. It's all a beautiful act of timing and balance -- each threat by the robust Meaney to push his crude Larry to the brink of annoyance is deftly balanced by the more fragile, thoughtful O'Kelly adding affecting layers to Bimbo.
The surprisingly successful Bimbo's Burgers business cashes in on the Irish quest for the World Cup in soccer in 1990. Barrytown is awash in soccer fervor, which the film paints in affectionate satire, and there's nothing like sports fans to go on eating binges. The family lives of the buds are gracefully interwoven -- Ger Ryan and Caroline Rothwell play the good-humored wives. Neili Conroy plays Bimbo's teenage daughter with a baby on her lap, and Ruaidhri Conroy is a charm as Larry's sullen but smart teen son.
Eric Clapton's guitar adds a simple, rich line of feeling to moments that might otherwise have been a little static.

Broncos hammer Bulldogs 30-0
Round 24
Canterbury Bulldogs 0 v Brisbane Broncos 30
at Telstra Stadium
Referee: Steve Clark
Match Summary:
The Brisbane Broncos have defeated the Canterbury Bulldogs 30-0 in a stunning upset at Telstra Stadium tonight. The Broncos were in control throughout and led 18-0 at half time.
The Broncos took seven minutes to open the scoring with a try to Tonie Carroll who crashed over from short range off a Darren Lockyer pass. It then took nearly half an hour for the next points to be posted, when Shaun Berrigan snuck through some dreadful defence to score. Mere minutes later the 26,111 crowd were stunned as Lockyer capped off a breakout play by the Broncos for an 18-0 lead. The Bulldogs lost a number of players to injury in the first half ? they lost Asotasi, Tonga and Myles to leg injuries and Asotasi and Tongas futures this season are up in the air.
The Broncos sealed the match after 55 minutes with a great try to Shaun Berrigan. Justin Hodges fielded a long kick, returned it right through the defensive line and offloaded to Berrigan who raced away to score. The second half meandered along with a number of tries rubbed out by Steve Clark or the video ref. The Broncos put an exclamation point on the win in the 80th minute with another breakout try, on this occasion to Brent Tate.
Next week the stunned Bulldogs will travel to Brookvale for another Friday night clash, while the Broncos face yet another challenge as they return to Sydney to play the Eels at Parramatta Stadium.
The result tonight officially crowned the Melbourne Storm as Minor Premiers.

13 min: INJURY - Asotasi forced into the dressing rooms with a knee injury.
14 min: The Dogs making some uncharacteristic errors.
16 min: Boyd crosses out wide, but the final pass from Tate is ruled forward. A very close call.

22 min: INJURY - Willie Tonga headed for the sheds as well.

Love Letter to My Dog
- By MC

- With One Comment
- Tagged with cat litter cats delightful dog dogs friends fun furry buddies Jackie Baisa Jim Goad Litter box love pals Pets sprinting Usain Bolt Valhalla wonderful
- On 15 Jul | '2012
My dog is my favorite non-human animal on earth.
Whenever we arrive at the dog park, we are barbarians at the gates, restless to permeate the membranes of these verdant cocoons; eager to find tranquility and smoke it from its hole.
The dog is my fierce friend, my loyal companion. When I'm depressed, he energizes me with his playfulness. When I need to relax, he is a palm frond for my aching ass muscles.
Sometimes people try to "tame" the contrarian fires burning in my dog's wolf-warrior soul. To slow this elegant engine of destruction from its march through neighbors' backyards and their cat-litter boxes.
But, to paraphrase something the great Jim Goad once said, "Would you ask Usain Bolt not to sprint?"
If someone ever tried to hurt my dog, the forecast would call for a torrent of fist-showers. My knuckles would rain hell on his assailant with the ferocity of a valkyrie carrying its freshest kill to Valhalla.
Cat owners, yours is no disgrace. I love cats too. I actually own one of them, with another on the way (I'm "cat-pregnant," with an expected due date of Autumn 2013.)
But I admire the chaos and incivility that dogs bring to the table. Chaos sells, and my dog's buying.
Fun tidbit: My ex-wife and I enjoy joint custody of the dog. When he's not with me being awesome, he's protecting her and my son from the city's most ignoble scum.
He is the greatest canine I know.

Bright colors are best at keeping your kitchen space look wider and have proper lighting.

Bring out your colourful pot holders, cooking ware, and other kitchen items that you have been keeping. Small things can actually convey a different outlook to your cooking area. Of course, if you have an extra budget to spare, you might as well upgrade your kitchen appliances. A new oven, gas stove, refrigerator, etc. make sure that you prioritise the one you daily use for cooking.
You may also have kitchen splashback installed. For this, it is best to hire expert. Having kitchen splashback may cost you a lot but it has benefits that would be very convenient for you when you work around your kitchen area. In addition to that, it can keep your tiles from getting greased when you cook and splashbacks are also very easy to clean.
Don't forget to keep your plumbing to gas-fitting to be always in good condition. Apart from having a kitchen with a refreshing look; it is best to always keep it clean and safe.

Cloudy Pool Problem Solved With Quick Drain
This has been the most discouraging pool opening ever!!!!!!!! We have had a pool since 1985, we presently have a Jacuzzi pump and filter . This year…our pool water has been SO cloudy that we could NOT see the top rung of the ladder….let alone the bottom of the pool. The chemical readings were fine, we even went as far as changing the filter sand and still no good results, it seemed no matter what we did ended at a dead end. Then we got this bright idea to shut the pool down for one night, well would you believe it in the morning….everything had settled to the bottom….CLEAR….we could see the pool bottom the ladder everything!!!!! At this point it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on, by keeping the pool running…this very light…almost like a talcum powder was forced to circulate or crawl if you will through the water keeping the pool cloudy, with the pool off for several hours it had a chance to settle to the bottom in pockets all over…NOW TO GET RID OF IT!!!! We used this new idea called "QUICK DRAIN" (check it out @ http://www.bargainpoolproducts.com or http://www.randcinnovations.com). With this new amazing device we were able to very quickly vacuum (with filter on waste) all of the pollutant from the pool. In order to completely eradicate the pollutant we knew there was going to be a good amount of water loss meaning the pool water level would probably need to go down below the skimmer also meaning that the pump would no longer be able to run. Thanks to Quick Drain which allows you to continue vacuuming with the water level BELOW the skimmer we didn't need to shut the pool down. Once finished vacuuming with the filter dial back in the filter position we left Quick Drain inserted in the skimmer to continue recirculating the water until (with the help of a garden hose) it regained its original depth @ the skimmer, this also allowed us to continue enjoying our pool while Quick Drain was doing the work…. "QUICK DRAIN"…an amazing product

A former lobbyist, brought into Donald Trump's campaign to make it appear more presidential, launched his own attack on Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday by defending shots taken by Trump and stating, "If she can't take it, that's her problem."
In video captured by Crooks and Liars, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace forced campaign consultant Paul Manafort to defend the personal attacks made by Trump about Hillary Clinton's marriage and Warren's ancestry.
On Friday, Trump and Warren engaged in a Twitter war, with Trump calling her "goofy" and Warren calling out Trump's Twitter game for being "lame."
Wallace pressed Manafort on the battle with Warren, while stating that the popular liberal senator started it.
"Now, to be fair, she [Warren] started it and here's one of her Tweets. 'Donald Trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia,'" Wallace prompted. "But Trump fired back with 'I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. I will defeat them both.' I guess the question is, if you're trying to win over women — and you do have a problem with women according to the polls — do you really want to take on a fight with two of them?"
"He's taking on a fight with two politicians who are using political terms and being hypocrites about it," Manafort parried. "As far as the women's issue is concerned, that's exactly the point he's making. He's not going to allow Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren to hide behind their sex to make cases that are just hypocritical."
"And how is Elizabeth Warren being hypocritical?" Wallace pressed.
"The statements that she was making there were totally out of bounds and he gave it back to her," Manafort replied. "If she can't take it, that's her problem."
