New James Bond 007: Bloodstone trailer focuses on driving
With all the big AAA guns being pulled out this time of year, it's very easy for a game like James Bond 007: Bloodstone to slip through the cracks. Of course, it doesn't help that Activision hasn't exactly been very forthcoming about the details, but we do have a new trailer to take a look at. If you're a fan of the driving portions in Bond games/movies, you'll definitely want to check this out.
Something a lot of gamers might not know about this game is that Bizarre creations is helping with the driving sections. Based on their history, we see this as a very good thing. The video is really more of a developer diary than a trailer but it's pretty slick looking, none-the-less.
While they don't show any actual in-game sections in the video, it is very cool to hear they're putting so much time in to the vehicular segments of the game. Take a quick glance at the video below and, as always, leave us your thoughts in the comments section.

This is the second meal from my Portland Farmers Market adventure the day before…
I got the idea for this dish from a sandwich I had at Olympic Provisions – but I added the Porchini Mushrooms since they were in season. I got the Chorizo from Tails & Trotters. And instead of Manchego – that was used in the original sandwich – I used a cheese called Heritage from Ancient Heritage Dairy.

Haven't we been here before? A John Calipari-coached Memphis Tiger basketball team has found its way to that hallowed section of your office bracket known as the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16. With 30-plus wins and a top-five national ranking, winners of Conference USA's regular-season and tournament championships, star power that borders on excess, Memphis fans should be thrilled.
But it's not enough. Not this year.
Spoiled with success as Tiger Nation may be, this is the season — the weekend just ahead — that will stand out in bold on this program's long, proud history. Anything less than the school's first Final Four berth in 23 years will be seen as falling short of expectations. And when you factor in the precious single-season window the Tigers have with Derrick Rose at point guard, anything less than a national championship may leave a wound of regret.
Here are four keys — the final four, you might say — to the Tigers reaching the NCAA's third weekend.
A Shooter's Chance
The Tigers had their share of stars last week in Little Rock, but the difference-maker was reserve guard Willie Kemp. In drilling four of his five three-point attempts (the rest of the team was two for 11), Kemp's shooting against Mississippi State provided the necessary cushion that allowed the Tigers to survive their own free-throw ineptitude (eight misses in 16 shots over the final two minutes).
Whether it's Kemp again, or Doneal Mack, or more likely candidates like Rose or Chris Douglas-Roberts, the Tigers must find a shooter for each tournament contest, one who will stretch the opponent's zone defense and create the gaps for dribble-drives that have become the team's offensive weapon of choice.
In describing the struggles of the 2004 Olympic team, Calipari once said, "Shooting makes up for a multitude of sins on a basketball team." Tiger fans still grind their teeth over the sins of the 2006 NCAA regional finals, when Memphis took 54 shots against UCLA and made exactly 17 (31 percent). Another 40 minutes like that and a dream season ends in a cold sweat.
Tag Team Inside
Calipari's bench management against the Bulldogs was the most impressive in his eight years as Tiger coach. He essentially had 15 big-man fouls to give against MSU's formidable frontcourt, and he used 14 of them, with 25 seconds to spare (the time left when Joey Dorsey joined Robert Dozier on the bench with his fifth foul). Despite the foul difficulty, Dorsey picked up his first double-double (13 points, 12 rebounds) in 10 NCAA tournament games. Dozier and Shawn Taggart combined for nine offensive rebounds, critical stats in a three-point victory.
"Shawn gives us what we haven't had since I've been here: that big guy off the bench," Calipari said after a win in mid-January. "We can tell [Joey] if you don't play well — you foul — you sit, and we win anyway. You need that to coach a team to the level we're trying to [reach]."
The enigmatic Dorsey was at his ferocious best Sunday, two days after a mediocre outing against Texas-Arlington. He needs to bottle the energy he displayed against the Bulldogs for the Tigers to beat the next MSU they face.
"[Joey's] going to be held to a standard he's capable of reaching," Calipari stresses. "When he comes and he's ready to play — an intense athlete like he is — there is no rage. He's beating [the opponent] to every spot, he's grabbing the ball with two hands. There's no need for rage. I challenge him, because I want him to be the best in the country at what he does."
Stars Must Shine
"Arrogance is what gets you in trouble," Calipari says. "Swagger is based on great preparation, being prepared to play anyone, anytime."
Rose and Douglas-Roberts will ultimately be remembered as the faces of the 2007-'08 Memphis Tigers. CDR is the program's first first-team All-American in 15 years. Rose is all but certain to be a top-five NBA draft selection in June. They are the tandem that must be at its best for Memphis to reel off four more wins in the NCAA tournament.
CDR averaged 20 points and Rose 17 in the two games in Little Rock. Rose added seven assists and nine rebounds to his line against Mississippi State. Perhaps most critically, these are the two Tigers capable of winning games at the free-throw line, so Rose will have to improve on his four-for-nine performance in the second round.
"Everybody has to be at their best," Rose says, as deferential as your garden-variety freshman sensation. "Coach has been saying every position, every player has to be on their game." For a national championship, this NBA All-Star-to-be needs to be on his game and bring his teammates along for the run.
Defense: First, Last, and Always
The loudest cheers heard all season long at FedExForum came not when the Tigers had possession of the ball — though a few Dorsey dunks did shake the rafters — but when they were seizing control of a game defensively — a relatively routine basket made by the likes of Douglas-Roberts, followed by the immediate transition into a full-court press that can exhaust an opponent before it's even able to establish a halfcourt offensive set.
This is the variable most under the Tigers' (and Calipari's) control. Utilizing his bench to its ninth and tenth man, Calipari can keep five fresh, quick players on the floor for an entire game. That quickness and energy are the chemical ingredients to a press that demands another team to be just as quick to break it. And no one on the Tiger roster takes a breather in the fullcourt press. In many respects, Dorsey plays the most valuable role, that of midcourt rover, quick enough to cover either side of the court and large enough to pick off passes made by opposing guards trapped in the backcourt.
"Our press is our bread and butter," Douglas-Roberts says. "We try to get at least three steals a game off the press. When it's effective, it opens up our transition game. We take great pride in it. We feel like a lot of teams can't press like us, because we're so deep. We can go 10 or 11 deep and still press. [Dorsey's] the intimidator back there. He's like the goaltender. If we happen to get beat on the press, he's back there to block it or muck it up."

I actually travel around a full lot and this summer when i was in Mexico, this bag was a life saver. When in Mexico you don't usually travel with your own vehicle which means you will have a backpack to transport groceries, clothes, whatever you may need for a complete day. However, this handbag was the ideal size and cute plenty of to allow me to put my wallet, small makeup products, my mans wallet, a water bottle, and then our keys. It is cute plenty of for day use and night use! Which is a complete win in my own book! I would definitely recommend it to a pal!
The colour is beautiful and the purse is very soft to touch. Made of excellent material. The materials inside can be a dark color and incredibly great also. The pockets make everything arranged. Two huge distinct zippered compartments and pockets inside. Two of the exterior pockets fits my cellular phone. I love everything concerning this handbag. Its a huge bag but not large overly. I don't use the band, the handles fit great over my shoulder.
Large enough for a carry-on, large enough to hold a folder and laptop, quality made (so it last lengthy), and stylish and basic looking. This bag meets, and exceeds most of my needs! It emerged wrapped cautiously and arrived quickly. It is rather comfortable, I'm only 5'3 but I put the lengthy strap on the best slot and it suits fine. The color is quite good and it feels like butter. Most of my stuff fits in it, and the compartments on the inside keep everything organized.
It had been packaged and on careful inspection of the seams nicely, I possibly could tell how well made this purse was. Certainly not like some of the other natural leather purses I have owned, this one is remarkable. It rates way above others. It is in a course all by itself. And i'll just tell one more thing about how exactly beautiful this budget is usually and how it really is made.
Smart, casual bag. The 3 different deal with/strap options are excellent and make this a flexible companion on the run. The long strap is long enough to use across. The long handle is comfortable more than enough to carry on shoulder. The brief handles are practical for carrying in one's hands. This handbag is roomy however, not hugely huge (I am 5'2 and don't want something overly huge).
If you have read most of the reviews you will know that they all are complementary, except One reviewer who said the handbag smelled like fish!? My nose is quite sensitive as I make all my own cleaning items out of essential oils and can't stand those strong chemical substance or synthetic fragrances! I put my nose right to the handbag and there is absolutely no detectable odor at all! Just has the aroma of a nice clean bag! In order that reviewer's package must have been dumped in a fish tank.

I've perused these boards for years for answers to various questions I've posed to Google, but this time I need some real, live help.
I'm celebrating my 28th birthday next weekend (Feb 12) and desperately need some ideas for festivities. My ideal night would be somewhere in DC (possibly north Arlington) where roughly a dozen of us can eat, have drinks (dinner or even just appetizers/small plates) and stick around for more drinking and some dancing and general silliness. A one-stop-shop for a somewhat low-key but still fun birthday evening, if you will.
Nothing too crazy expensive/chi-chi, and somewhere with parking and metro access would be ideal...but not totally necessary if it's an otherwise great solution.
Thanks in advance!

You walk up to this beautifully polished box of wood.
Its a dreaded thing.
Slow and small steps , keeping your head up.
So your tears don't start just yet.
You reach the casket and look down.
You don't realized it but you wait.
You stare so intently and you wait.
For a flinch,
For a breathe,
For some part of him to move.
You wait for some part of this to not be real.
Days before this moment you receive that call.
Where you hear the news and start to cry.
But then you forget about the bad for a little,
Because it is not real yet.
You get on the plane,
Those last minute tickets because you have to be there.
You meet some of the family at the airport.
You talk and laugh and try not to discuss the grief that is so evident.
Because at this very moment there is no reminder.
It is still not real.
You go to your home away from home and see the pictures,
Strewed across the multiple surfaces.
Trying to find the perfect ones that represent the true man we are memorializing.
The ones where the love is prominent,
And the life he lived obviously done correctly.
These pictures are memories,
We speak of memories all of the time.
It is not real yet.
We are sitting at the final goodbye,
Friends and family have traveled from everywhere to be here.
We all say our goodbyes,
Watching the flowers and dirt pile around us.
He is finally home.
But this is still not real.
The attendees come back for brunch,
We all sit and discuss the amazing man we laid to rest.
Going around trying to tell as many people
How monumental our memories with him were,
And how special he was to us.
But it is still not real.
It is a week later,
A year later,
Five years,
Ten, Fifteen, Twenty years later.
We are all home.
And we wish we could call,
And tell him everything he's missed.
It is real.

They say that a penny saved is a penny earned. When people need money, they usually look for ways to increase their income, which is great, but an equal amount of attention should go to saving. Saving on all of the little things you sometimes overspend on every day will have a huge effect on your bank balance on the long run. Here are a few simple ways to save.
- Don't just save up arbitrarily. Save for a particular goal or thing that you want to use the money for.
The biggest mistake the people make when it comes to saving, is that they just save up "for something I might need to spend it on later." The problem with that, is that there's no motivation there to stick to the savings plan, because you don't know what it is that you are saving up for. You can easily end up blowing your hard-earned money on the next shiny gadget that comes out, that you realize later that you didn't really need.
Rather, set a goal. Decide on how much you want to save up, and what you are going to use it for. You don't necessarily have to spend it."I want to have $10,000 as an emergency fund," that also works. The key is to set a specific amount, and to know what the money is for. For people with low income, it is always a good idea to save up for income-generating assets.
- Extreme couponing
Yes, extreme couponing is a thing. The idea is to find a coupon for the item that you want, then use it on an item that is already on sale. So for example, if something normally costs ten dollars, and it's on sale for six, you can use a coupon that gives it to you for three dollars off, and that's how you get a ten-dollar item for only three dollars. Coupons.com is a great place to start.
However, I will warn you that it can be time-consuming to find coupons and match them with items that are on sale.
- Avoid fines and fees
Many big expenses come from unexpected fines and fees, such as parking tickets, overdue books and movies, and ATM fees can add up too, over time. The best way to avoid this is to stay organized. Use a planner to keep track of due dates. Use post-it notes to remind yourself to move the car. Set a particular day of the week to withdraw cash from the bank for the rest of the week, decide on how much to spend each day, and never use outside ATM's that charge a fee. a $1 withdrawal fee may not seem like much, but as I said, it adds up over time, and is a complete waste of money.
- Save your receipts
Yet another reason to be organized. So often do we buy expensive things that we end up not using, or not working after a while. Keep a file for your receipts, return your stuff when you see that you are not using them.
- Pay attention to prices- know where to buy things for cheap
Living in New York, the prices here are higher than most other states. I have a sister in Connecticut, and we put off a lot of our shopping for when we visit her, because things are a lot more affordable there.
But you don't have to leave the state to save money. Pay attention to which stores in your area sell particular items for less than other stores. Keep track of that, so the next time you need that particular item, you know where to go.
Same goes for gas. Gas is cheaper when you leave the city, so make sure to fill up the tank when you do.
- Buy things wholesale
Things are a lot cheaper when you buy a lot at once. Things like soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. are things that you know for sure you'll always need. So why not buy a year's worth all at once and save both, time and money?
- Take full advantage of sales
This is fundamentally the same idea as Number 6. When the price is low on items that you know for sure you will need later, buy as much as you can so that you don't have to pay full price later.
- Keep a coin jar
This is the simplest and most obvious one of them of all. Keep a big jar where you throw your spare change whenever you get some. Whenever you see coins behind the sofa, under the bed, or anywhere, add it to your collection. In time, it'll add up.
- Brown bag your lunch
If you're outside all day, you can end up spending $10-$20 dollars every day on just food. So you'll save lots if you take food from home instead.
- Budgeting-Keep track of your money
Do an assessment of your money at least once every two weeks. Know how much you made from the last time, and how much you spent, and what you spent it on. This will give you a good view of where most of your money is being spent, so that you can start thinking about how to spend less in that particular area. Set a budget -- a given amount that you are allowed to spend in a particular area. And during your weekly assessments, see whether or not you were able to stick to the budget.
The most important thing of all for long-term financial success, is financial education. You went online, you looked for articles on how to save money, and you found this. That was the first step, but there is lots more to know. People are always coming out with new ideas, and the best way to succeed in anything is to keep learning.

Ira Singhal, who made it to the headlines this year for topping the civil services examination, experienced the shocking apathy that is symptomatic of public response to accidents in India. On her way back to Delhi from Mussoorie, Singhal and her fellow travellers encountered a battered Maruti. The car had rammed into a tractor and the driver was severely injured. Singhal and her friends stopped their car and tried their best to help the accident victims. While they managed to take one of them to the hospital, the other died on on spot. However, what was most shocking is, not a single car on the Delhi-Meerut highway stopped to help them or the accident victims, though they all slowed down to take a look at the site and the bleeding victims.
Singhal put up the following post on Facebook:
Singhal concludes with a sense of deep frustration, "For all that these drivers knew, I was a tiny girl asking them to help in the dark night on a busy road on the scene of a horrible accident. And they all refused. This is our world. This is us."
This is not the first time that such an incident of apathy has come to light. In the December 2012 gangrape case, the victim and her injured friend were dumped on the roadside in Delhi, bleeding and naked. The victim's friend tried to flag down several vehicles, but no one stopped, according to a statement given by him to the police. They lay on the road, crying for help for over 20 minutes before some commuters came to their aid.
Also Read: Ira Singhal Has Fought Disability To Ace India's Toughest Exam
In 2103, a shocking CCTV footage surfaced on the internet. A man, whose wife and 8-month old daughter were mowed down by a truck was desperately trying to get vehicles to stop on the busy Jaipur highway but no one paid any attention to him. The man was riding a bike, with his wife and two children riding pillion. A truck had rammed into them and sped away, killing the woman and the baby girl. The footage shows the bodies lying on the road as the man and his son desperately seek help - and not a single car stops to help them.
Singhal's frustration, therefore, is not quite off the mark.
Also Read: Ira Singhal And The Disabilities Of The Government
Singhal earned accolades from all over India after she topped the civil services exams especially because she had fought crippling disability to ace the them. She suffers from a rare spinal cord disease which left her stunted and also doesn't allow her to twist her arms completely.
She had herself not had it easy while securing a suitable appointment, despite clearing the examination in 2010. She had secured 813 rank but was denied an appropriate job profile because of her disability.
After fighting a four years-long legal battle with the Department of Personnel & Training, the Revenue Ministry, UPSC, and Ministry of Social Justice & Welfare, Singhal finally got a ruling in her favour in 2014.

On March 10, 2017, Johnny Bower's old banner from the Air Canada Centre found its new home at the Art Hauser Centre in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The "China Wall" was born in Prince Albert on November 8, 1924. The above photo shows the banner prior to the contest between the Prince Albert Raiders and the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Unable to attend the ceremony, Bower's presence came to life via a video recording. "It was such a great honour for them to do that, to say yes," Bower said in the video. "I had tears in my eyes. But this is something I'll never forget. I wish I could be here tonight with you people. I'm sorry, but I can't be there with you tonight, but I'll always have you in my heart. Thank you so much."

In Loving Memory of Einstein
We had been dog-less for about a year or so after the last of the previous generation of dogs passed away when we decided we were ready to adopt again. We found Einstein through our veterinarian clinic. One of the veterinarians had a friend who was looking for a new home for their four year old Australian cattle dog. We immediately fell in love with Einstein and three days before Christmas in 2000, took him home with us. What a great Christmas gift!
Although we were excited to have a new family member, I know giving him away was a difficult
thing for his previous family to do and it was hard on Einstein for the first day or so too. He didn't understand why this was happening. He didn't really want anything to do with us once we got him home and took him out in the backyard. He didn't want us to touch him. He barked out the gate to go back home. Finally, with patience and persistence, my husband was able to get the first pet in, and once that happened and Einstein saw we were only there to love him, he was okay. He was our dog now.
What a great dog. He was already well trained and had great manners.He always waited for my permission before he did anything. It became quickly apparent why his name was Einstein. The name fit. He was the smartest dog I have ever met. Not long after bringing him home I began taking him to work with me. (This was before I started pet sitting.) I worked in an office and he would stay by my side at my desk, content to just be wherever I was. It was after this, my husband states, that Einstein became my dog. From then on, Einstein felt his purpose was to watch over me and protect me.
If I was around, he knew where I was at all times, no exceptions. Where ever I was, there he was. He was my body guard and he took it seriously. When I would leave the house, he would wait for me by the front door. Closed doors were not allowed in our house. If they weren't completely shut, he would shove them open forcefully. He also kept tabs on where anyone else was that might be in our house. Our bathroom door doesn't always shut completely because of settling so when someone uses the bathroom and closes the door as far as it will go, well you guessed it -- Einstein would forcefully shove it open with his muzzle. No privacy allowed here!
He loved our cats and was intrigued by one in particular. He could sit and watch her for hours. She was the best entertainment for him. Likewise, I'm sure. Being the herding dog he was, he was content to herd smaller animals like cats, dogs or humans. He left the herding of larger animals like horses and cows up to our Australian Shepherd, Ellie (who we adopted six months later). We will never forget one time when we were on our ranch in the country, with all four of our dogs. They were all off together, close to the parameter of our property where it was heavily wooded, when they suddenly heard the loud thunder of cattle coming their direction from the adjoining property. The two female dogs, Ellie and Cali started barking and running toward it, while the two boys, Einstein and Duke started running as fast as they could back to the house, all the while looking over their shoulder. They knew whatever was headed their direction was big and they didn't want any part of it. We still laugh about that.
Einstein loved going to our ranch of course. It was a new experience for him as he had previously lived on a golf course. His feet were so soft. After the first time tippy-toeing around the property, his feet got broken in and became rough. He loved swimming in the pond, fetching a toy and bringing it back over and over. He would never go off any where without me though. One of the first times he went with us he saw a rabbit and began chasing it at full speed. I called him and was amazed that he stopped immediately and came back. He wouldn't even go for a walk with my husband and the other dogs around the property if I wasn't going. He wanted to be with me, always. No matter what. Now that is loyal. I felt honored.
His vocabulary grew to be huge. I taught him the words and names for different types of
animals, the people we regularly saw, and any and everything else. He listened intently to everything I said. Even when I wasn't talking to him. He would let me know whenever there was some critter around. At our ranch, he would sniff into holes in the ground and if he whined that meant there was a critter of some sort in there. If he didn't whine, it was empty. When opossums would get into our garage and hide on occasion , he would whine with his nose pointed in the direction to let me know one was in there. I could always count on him to let me know who or what might be near.
We tried playing with our cats with a laser light once. It doesn't work well when you have dogs in the room. The other dogs would try to get the light (cats didn't have a chance) but Einstein would get irritated at the other dogs for trying to get the light. It was as if he was saying "you dummies -- Mom and Dad are making the light move!" If they didn't stop chasing the light he would nip at the hand that was holding the laser light -- telling us to "stop that!". He was too smart to chase a laser light and thought the other dogs were ridiculous for doing so! We still laugh about that one too.
He loved tennis balls and was so enthusiastic about catching them he would do a flip in the process if needed. He was an excellent ball catcher. As a matter of fact, to show you just how great a dog's sense of smell is; just a short time after we adopted him, he was in the backyard and started digging close to the patio. After looking to see why he was digging there, I was amazed to see he had dug down at least six inches or so to uncover an old tennis ball! It had gotten buried years ago from our previous dogs. Amazing. He smelled it under several inches of dirt and it was only half of an old, worn out tennis ball.
He also loved to tear the squeaker out of every stuffed toy and "kill it" so it couldn't squeak any more. He didn't like those squeakers! It would take him less than a minute to get them out.
Another funny story comes to mind. He was never afraid of our two horses. He was rather relaxed around them compared to the cows. He liked to eat their sweet feed and their carrots and would help himself to a bite or two. One day, he was standing just in front of our Quarter horse Tosha, while she was eating out of her bucket, with his butt to her and I guess she didn't want him so close to her food so she nipped him on the butt! He yelped and jumped at the same time and then came over to me pointing with his head and snout that his butt hurt. Naturally, I rubbed it and kissed it to make it feel better. He was the best communicator. He always let me know if something hurt and where.
He had such a calm and wise demeanor. People noticed it but other animals especially noticed it. No matter where we went and whether it was a dog or cat, they all gravitated toward him and showed particular interest in him. Even when we had all four dogs with us other people's pets would favor him. They found his calm and wise energy comforting. Our other pets were no different. Our cats adored him. He was in kitty herding heaven! A veterinarian once remarked what a calm dog he was as we were waiting in the clinic.
He was not a real friendly dog with other people. He only liked to receive pets if he asked for them and then he wanted the pets on his chest, please. He would shove your hand down to his chest if you went for the head. He had to know you to want a pet from you. He didn't allow just anyone to pet him. He was a one-person-dog as they say. He was totally dedicated to one person and that was me. I was the luckiest person in the world.
I have a magnet on my refrigerator with a picture of an Australian Cattle Dog - Blue Heeler on it and it has a description of them that says; robust, athletic, clever, versatile and talented. Watchful with strangers. Hard-Headed (In bold). He was hard-headed indeed. He could also be very intense.
Other than a couple of bouts with Vestibular Disease when he was fifteen, he was healthy his whole life. He developed high blood pressure around the same time. We also discovered that he had a benign brain tumor and he had had several mini strokes. He didn't show any outward symptoms of either and never did. Though he lost his hearing, he was bright-eyed until the very end. He began getting weaker. He was very independent and wasn't happy about accepting help in the beginning, when he needed it but he quickly resolved to having to be taken care of. He had taken care of me for the last thirteen years and now it was my turn. He continued to communicate his needs in whatever ways he could. He was so good at that. I always knew what he wanted. He always knew what I wanted (though he may not have always listened). He was determined to stay with me for as long as he could. His body gave out long before he did but he finally let go two months after his seventeenth birthday, on October 29th. He had a good, long life filled with lots of love and fun.
Einstein (like the rest of our pets) taught me so much about myself and about them. He was a great teacher. They give us so much but most of all they give us unconditional love. They help us to grow and expand. We have only just begun to understand them. They have so much to teach us. They are magnificent creatures. They are sentient beings -- gifts from God. That's why it hurts so much when they leave.
Einstein: The most amazing dog I have ever met. I am so grateful to have had him in my life. I will never be the same.

Police Officer Retires Singing Boyz II Men's Classic Jam! Watch This!
In case you needed a lil' bit of a pick me up today, check this video out ILOSM family.
A police officer for the Madison Police Department in Wisconsin, decided to record his last day on the job. Let's just say that he was highly inspired by the movie, Cooley High – you know the song that played during "Cochise's" funeral scene? And he also paid homage to Boyz II Men's rendition of that same song when he sat in his patrol car and sang with all his might, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye," which was dedicated to his years spent on the police force.
Watch Officer Derrick Jones perform his 'exit song' and tell us what you think about it…
The brotha didn't sound horrible, but he didn't sound amzing either…but I think that's something he already knows. So it's safe to assume that he won't be pursuing a singing career after he officially turns his badge in. Maybe he'll be cuttin' up as the guest singer for his family's reunions and soulful karaoke events though…I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid.

An Angel's Point of View
Mike Glenn
When demonic spirits jump the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world, attempting to destroy the soul of potential spiritual warrior Scott Green, God allows Scott's guardian angel, to step in and provide divine protection.
As the oldest son of a young unwed mother who struggles to pay the bills and provide shelter in housing projects, Scott veers off his path into danger often. Now Saquerel must assist the fatherless teen through the gauntlet of demonic snares and at the same time reveal Scott's identity as a son and Father's inclusion of him.
Mike Glenn's debut novel is a clever take on an angel's task to nudge a young man in the right direction without affecting his free will. Glenn's ability to delve into the raw emotions and pressures that teens face was enlightening, especially for a novel with a Christian theme. He's not afraid to take you into a teenager's room, allowing you to experience the peer pressure Scott has to contend with, and introduce you to a guardian angel who will stop at nothing to show Scott his destiny.
And best of all, you can download this paranormal Christian drama for less than a drive-thru meal. And it'll last longer and you'll fell better after consuming it! :)

I guess it was inevitable.
Dad had knee surgery, and he's overweight, so he stoops when he walks. This means that on average, between two and four inches of upper butt area is exposed above the pant line. In the family, we're somewhat used to this. In public, he does draw a few stares. "Say no to crack!" is frequently heard at our house.
So I was at work this past weekend, and the young pregnant lady I wrote about earlier says to me, "I can see your underwear." I froze. I felt behind me and sure enough, the top inch of my FTL's was riding up over my pant line. (Yes, my underwear is Faster Than Light.) My first thought was, "My God, I'm turning into my father."
Well at least I don't leave goofy notes around for people to find and be puzzled by. One time My mother and I came home and Dad was out, but he'd left us a note. The note said, "Frodo did not pup." It took us a minute to figure out that "pup" was Dad's Hungarian-English way of saying "poop". I guess he felt it was important enough to leave us a note. A warning of sorts. Goodness knows that Frodo's dancing at the door and whining wasn't enough of a clue.
So last night and today I've been having ISP problems. I finally got connected to the Internet and got my security manager re-installed and I decided to run a virus scan. I left the PC doing it's thing while I left to take Dad down to the hospital for some routine tests. I didn't want Mom to use the PC while I was gone so I wrote, "NO!" on a napkin and hung it over the monitor. I figured that wasn't enough so a I made a paper tent over the keyboard that said, "I said NO!"
It hit me later. Yep, I'm turning into my father.
One time, Dad came home from work really tired and he never bothered to put on pants after he'd gotten out of his overalls. So he's making spaghetti in a tee-shirt and underwear. He gets his spaghetti on the plate, all piled up with awesome meat sauce. He's got a can of beer in his other hand. He carries everything downstairs to sit in front of the TV and vegetate. He went to plop into his La-Z-Boy chair when the footrest popped open and knocked his legs out from under him.
It was spectacular. His beer can hit the floor and erupted, firing a white plume of foam up all over everything. He landed in a prone position, perfectly poised beneath the falling plate of spaghetti. The entire plateful of noodles and meat sauce slid off the plate directly into his lap. Of course he shouted, "Whoa Crap!"
It was grand.
So I'm in the kitchen the other day, too lazy to put on pants after I'd gotten out of my work clothes and I'm cooking bacon... I bet you can guess what happened.
Yeah, I'm definitely turning into my father.
P.S. Hot bacon hurts. Especially when it hits sensitive areas. Don't ever let it happen. Just don't.

OAKLAND / Council asked to hire youths to make BART safer / At-risk youngsters would be employed as commuter escorts
An Oakland city councilwoman proposed Tuesday that the city employ at-risk youth as safety escorts in and around BART stations.
Following a spate of robberies in her North Oakland district, Councilwoman Jane Brunner said she came up with the idea of the Oakland Ambassadors program as a way of improving public safety in a city where criminals are taking advantage of an officer shortage.
"We need it for two reasons," Brunner said. "It will help people getting off BART in our city feel welcome to Oakland. We're having serious issues at eight in the morning, but particularly at night. ... All people using BART ... need to feel safe."
She said she developed the plan, presented Tuesday at a council committee, in consultation with a downtown merchants group and several youth organizations.
The ambassadors would work in five-member teams at each Oakland BART station from dusk until 8 p.m., helping commuters to their cars, accompanying people to restaurants or guiding elderly residents making their way home.
Brunner said the program would also give young Oakland residents an opportunity to improve safety and the environment around BART stations in their city.
They would also be assigned to pick up litter, greet merchants and give directions to people in and around the stations.
Sean Sullivan, director of development and community relations for Covenant House, an Oakland youth shelter and employment program, said young people would be more than safety escorts.
"It's about how we keep more eyes on the street and employ young people to be leaders in their community," Sullivan said. "It also builds up a fractured fabric and presents an opportunity for different generations to connect."
The program would employ youth from Covenant House, Youth Employment Partnership and Youth Uprising and provide prospective ambassadors with customer-service and safety training -- the latter of which is crucial if the program is to be a success, Deputy Police Chief Howard Jordan said.
"We look at this as another step in our community policing efforts," Jordan said. "My only concern is that the ambassadors have the training they need and that they're equipped to communicate with BART police or Oakland police should the need arise."
While Brunner said she hasn't determined the annual cost of the program, she is proposing using redevelopment funds and contributions from businesses.
The part-time positions would pay $10.39 an hour with benefits and $11.95 an hour without benefits.
BART spokesman Linton Johnson said his agency would support such an effort if the city is willing to find a way to cover the cost.
Phil Tagami, a local developer who worked with Brunner on the idea, said crime deters people from shopping in Oakland and the ambassador program would be a good way to not only help youth but also keep businesses in town.
The council's community and economic development committee heard a report about the program Tuesday; however, the committee lacked a quorum and so members could not vote on it. The council's rules committee will consider the matter Thursday. Brunner said she is confident the rules committee will send the proposal to the full council for its consideration on June 5.

Word of Mouth: Chutney
Chutney, noun: A type of condiment similar to salsa found in Indian cuisine.
Every culture has their own version of an all-purpose sauce that can be used interchangeably as dip, relish, or condiment. In India, it's chutney! What's your favorite chutney recipe?
There is no single recipe for chutney, and the variations from region to region and family to family are endless. In general, it's a thick sauce that can be smooth or chunky. While some versions are as spicy as the hottest Mexican salsas, the most prominent flavor profiles are sweet and sour.
Most chutneys incorporate a lot of tropical ingredients. Mangoes, pineapple, and coconut get used quite a bit, along with nuts like cashews and peanuts. Mint, ginger, tamarind, cumin, and cilantro add variety and depth of flavor.
Chutneys served with crackers or flatbread make an appetizer or quick snack. They are also served with main dishes so each person can adjust their dish to their own taste. Chutneys also go very well with grilled foods!
Mark Bittman's book, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, has a really nice section of chutney recipes, including Crunchy Nut Chutney and Tamarind-Date Chutney. Here are a few other recipes from the internet:
• Mango Chutney from Simply Recipes
• Cherry-Plum Chutney from the Examiner
• Sweet-and-Sour Tamarind Chutney from Food & Wine
• Tomato Chutney from Indian Child
Do you make your own chutneys?

ESA launches LISA Pathfinder successfully
LISA Pathfinder space probe was launched this morning at 5:04. The test probe is designed to investigate whether certain technology is indeed able to detect gravitational waves. The probe should start in 2016 to reach its final orbit the sun.
Gravitational waves were Einstein predicted in his theory of general relativity, but have as yet never been observed directly. With the current state of the art, it may be possible to take directly the waves still true. The waves travel at light speed through the universe and everywhere are going through.
The launch of the LISA Pathfinder took place from Kourou in French Guiana with a Vega rocket. The LISA Pathfinder has to test the technology before being sent around 2034 successor eLISA space. LISA stands for Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. On board the probe are two cubes of gold and platinum each 46mm. The cubes are 38 centimeters apart and in principle by any force except gravity affected.
During the mission, it is intended that the blocks in the most free fall ever end up. At the same time the relative position between the blocks are measured. This should provide a basis for measuring gravitational waves. In a message is explained by means of two interacting black holes on the ESA website for any shifts it goes. The waves caused by these two black holes would stretch a measuring stick of a kilometer long with less than the size of an atom.Viewing:-329

My family uses Google Apps to provide GMail (etc.) at our own domain, so my email address is email@example.com and not email@example.com -- I'm hoping I will be able to use this to log into Android! Edit: Yes you can. However a few apps (e.g. Google My Maps) insist on a true Google account, and will appear unconnected to your Google Apps account.

This is the perfect class project for weather units or just for some plain creative fun.
1. cover your work surface with a big sheet. Tape as many blown-up white balloons together as you like, to form your perfect cloud.
2. Mix up a big batch of water and flour paste and whisk until smooth.
3. Gather up lots of newspaper or newsprint paper and tear into thick shreds (3"-6").
4. Dip shreds into the paste, removing excess paste as you lift from bowl, and smooth all over the balloons, until they are fully covered.
5. Allow to dry completely. (This can take up to 24 hours).
6. Cover the clouds with pillow stuffing (polyester fiber). To do so, use a spray adhesive, and spray little sections at a time adding small bunches of stuffing at a time. Repeat until cloud is covered.
And just like that, a cloud is born...............

For today's Warm Up assignment, I have given students three problems that build upon the previous days' lessons. The first problem asks students to find the dimension of a large cube formed from 27 smaller cubes. The second problem asks students to simplify an expression with both a cube root and square root. The third asks students to recall the largest prefect square number under 200.
As students work, I move about the room redirecting students as needed. Once the timer sounds after 5 minutes, I call the class to the Smart board where we work together to come to consensus on the answers to the warm up problems. I do this by calling students at random (from a cup of name sticks) to answer each problem. I then ask for any dissenting opinions. If some occur, I ask each student to justify his/ her answer. I then check for student agreement before moving on to the next problem.
After Warm Up, I briefly display today's Learning Objective so that students are aware of our target for the day. I explain that the game we will play will require them to recall the learning from previous days so that they understand we are reviewing a concept learned previously.
For today's work time, we are going to play a review game called BONK- Roots. BONK is a popular game with students played on the Smart board. Student teams take turns spinning the spinner as many times as they would like, adding the points with each spin. If however, the spinner lands on BONK, the team loses all their points for that round as well as their turn. Students only earn their points if they answer one of their four questions correctly. To keep the game interesting, I do allow other teams to "steal" points if they are able to provide the correct answer when the original team given an incorrect one.
The game ends when any team has answered all four questions. The team with the most points accumulated wins the game.
For closure, I give students a "Quick Check" over perfect cube roots. I want them to be able to recall them with ease, yet also understand how to find a cube root if they can't recall from memory. Students write their answers on a 3 x 5 note card, which I collect as the students exit the classroom.

Cool. I will check that on the Macbook as soon as it is available to me.Went ahead and disabled Java on my Win7 box too. Don't think I ever used it anyway. When I went to the Adobe site you linked a banner popped us asking me to give permission to run Java. I never see that on my home box (though I see it at work all the time), so I'm assuming I never needed it at home before. Disabled the plugin anyway.1poorguy

An Engayging tag
- RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
- RULE #2 Tag 5 people to do this quiz and those who cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people.
- If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Dump the asshole. I''m not a forgiving type - and even if I took him back, I'd never be able to trust him again. Best to cut the strings and forget he even existed.
- If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
To have a house on an island with my lover, 2 dogs and a VERY hot gardener.
- Whose butt would you like to kick?
All the guys who have "types". Come on! Live a little...doesn't hurt to date someone who isn't "exactly" what you want. Maybe you'd even be surprised.
- What would you do with a billion dollars?
Open up a club playing only 80's retro music and serving martinis. That will cost me about a million or so. Maybe I'd just drink the other 999 million away. Oh, and must save money for tummy tuck and Botox. (was going to say "get a boyfriend" but then Paul McCartney tapped me on the shoulder and reminded me that "Money can't buy me love").
- Will you u fall in love with your best friend?
Yes. I have several times. Which is why I have neither lover nor best friend.
- Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Oh totally being loved by someone...then you have the option of reciprocating - always keep the power reins in your hands.
- How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
11.59 pm, Feb 1, 2009. Starting then, I'm just gonna settle for what I can get.
- If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Totally pray for them to break up. It's evil but sometimes you need divine intervention. Oh and excel at EVERYTHING the guys' partner doesn't do. And make sure the guy knows it.
- If you like to act with someone, who will it be? your gf/bf or an actress/actor?
How about an actor who is my pretend boyfriend? I pick Kunal Kapoor.
- What takes you down the fastest?
Being ignored by my friends.
- How would you see yourself in ten years time?
On a chair at Jamuna Pai's clinic undergoing facelift Number 1.
- What's your fear?
Bald, fat and single at 40 watching all the twinks dancing at the GB party with a whiskey and water in my hand. Shudder.
- What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Someone who refused to watch Mamma Mia with me. That says it all.
- Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
Single and rich always. Money can't buy you love but it sure makes being single hurt less.
- What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Hit snooze on the alarm and sleep some more. Oh, and check to make sure the undies are still on.
- Would you give all in a relationship?
No. I would have said yes when I was an idealist and a romantic. But having been in a couple of relationships, I'd say never completely open up till you are absolutely sure (and get it in writing) that you're gonna be together forever. It's just not worth the humiliation otherwise.
- If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
The Deep Vik says the one who has more to offer emotionally. The shallow one says the one with the bubble butt.
- Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
Never. He's lucky I haven't put a hit on him yet!
- Do you prefer being single or having a relationship?
Do you even have to ask. (Gets back to folding laundry and eating chips)

The best commencement speech I never heard was Steve Jobs' Stanford University speech given on June 7, 2005. I urge you to Google it and commit it forever to your brain. In about eight minutes Jobs presented a practical, realistic, and candid address to the graduates, parents and faculty.
One portion of his speech was based on thoughts he had after being diagnosed with cancer. "Your time is limited," he said, "so don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other peoples' thinking… have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."
Along with a vision of your dreams, there are some hard practicalities. I am slightly removed from the college scene — my own Stanford days were long ago — but I do have a distillation to offer you what I have witnessed, experienced and sometimes failed at, in many years of living. I found that bringing problems down to their simple core, having the courage to charge ahead, and taking the first steps that are necessary toward what you want to do (instead of just thinking about all of it) helped. It means that you are becoming a meaningful specific instead of a wandering generality.

Poker Savvy $1000 Blogger Freeroll at Poker.com
Well so much for my blogger tournament debut. I donked out 21 of 21. I played too many hands and played them too far. It was fun while it lasted. I will definitely be back next month.
I really liked that there were only 21 players. That meant that the payout was $500 for 1st, $300 for second, and $200 for third. I knew I should have taken the 21 way chop before it started.(LOL) Oh, well - live and learn. You can bet I will be there next month. If you have a blog, you should show up too.
Enjoy the Pokery Goodness.

So i've downloaded xampp for windows. Inside the htdocs folder I placed two sub folders. I also renamed the default index pages so I do not automatically link to them when accessing localhost/ in my web browser.
So now I have in the htdocs folder:
For some reason, site2 will not show up, and I can not link to it.
Also when i go to localhost/site1 I am redirected to my actual public website... I have no idea how it even knows to redirect me to my website which is even more confusing.
So what im asking is, why doesnt site2 show up in localhost
And, why cant I access the files in site1 without being redirected.
