Trump derangement syndrome raging across the nation
I completely understand this request, and I have promised to not discuss politics under any circumstances. It was a terribly long, nightmarish eight years that I felt extremely disheartened and feared for the future of the country. Especially after Obama's re-election; good Lord, how could we have given this socialist ANOTHER FOUR YEARS to destroy what's left of the Founding Father's vision for America.
And my fears were not invalid. Obamacare has so weakened our economy since no self respecting employer would ever consider hiring a full time worker, lest his bottom line get eaten away by these punitive taxes (yes, taxes, according to Chief Justice John Roberts). Many previously full time workers have had their hours slashed so that employers can remain in business.
Yes, now the shoe is on the other foot, and the liberals across the country are fit to be tied. There is great wailing and gnashing of teeth over the prospect that Donald Trump will overturn many of Obama's economy wrecking initiatives and his transfer of wealth schemes. Barry promised to remake America, and now it appears that The Donald is un-making those remakings of Barry's. Repealing and replacing Obamacare is a great start.
But the liberals will not take this lying down. They will not go quietly into that good night. Not on your life. A communist leftist organization 'Grab Your Wallet' has called on Americans to boycott any business that has anything to do with Donald Trump or his company affiliations. L.L. Bean co-owner and board member Linda Bean gave a few measly bucks of her own personal money to the Trump campaign, and now these slime balls are calling for a complete boycott of L.L. Bean.
I don't dismiss this boycott as frivolous. In fact, I encourage conservatives to emulate this tactic: since they are boycotting conservative interests (and L.L. Bean is by no means conservative, they want to sell their popular 'Bean Boots' to both liberals and conservatives), conservatives should boycott liberal interests at every turn. What's good for the goose is good for the gander: if you are an employer and you find out that one of your employees is liberal, fire them immediately. If you know of a business that is owned by liberals who push their liberal agenda via their company, boycott them. Ben & Jerry's ice cream comes to mind - and unless you are a sumo wrestler who needs this product to remain competitive, stay clear of it.
And don't stop there: if a member of your family is liberal, give it your best shot to convert them to sanity. If all efforts fail, and they still insist on voting Democratic, wearing Birkenstocks and eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream, shun them. Don't go to their birthday parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs or even funerals.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is raging out of control. Rather than just sitting back and watching it play out (to our detriment), we need to fight back: fight fire with fire. Boycott Democrat/liberal interests where ever they are.

As you may expect, I remind people in Mexico who I meet to reflect back on predictions that I made of an astounding and resounding Trump victory. Everyone thought I'd lost my mind and that that anointed Bitch of Benghazi would surely win. Mexicans have spent their hard earned pesos having me fly down there and bloviate to them about this or that because of the Trump win. I'm monetizing Trump's historic victory by using the WWTD (What Would Trump Do) mantra as my guideline.
I do know progs. I even like a few of the poor, misguided souls. But I am not shy about the gospel of Make America Great Again.
And I don't patronize "progressive" establishments. I didn't like Macy's anyway, but when they stopped carrying Trump's ties in an effort to distance themselves from him, that was all she wrote for that company. I hear that they're doing poorly and are closing a lot of stores. Gee, that's sad.

I haven't eaten Ben and Jerry's ice cream for a gazillion years. Tyson chicken? I wouldn't bring it into my house even if they gave it to me. I check products for the halal symbol and won't buy it if it's present. Movies, music, and TV? Off the radar. Dropped Progressive Insurance (why I got it to begin with is beyond me having even been warned by my insurance person what they supported.) Starbucks. Ah, no. Besides, their over priced coffee stinks. I can get a much better cup of coffee at the grocery store.
Jim Sinegal, the founder of Costco, supports left wing politics, but he does so as a private citizen, while Costco employees are some of the most highly paid in the retail world. What an individual does is none of my concern. Disclaimer: I worked for Costco for about 9 years. Best employer, ever.
L.L. Bean? Proud to say that when I replaced my library tote (after about 40 years) I did so with an L.L. Bean tote.

LL: I have a whole closet full of Rush Limbaugh ties, you know, the gaudy ones. Too bad they aren't making any more of them. Macy's carried Trump ties, but they never measured up to Rush ties.
I have never purchased a single Macy's product in my life. Not that I was boycotting them, it's just that there were no Macy's around me. Now I am officially boycotting them. In other words, I'm not changing my behavior in the slightest, but will boast of my efforts regardless. See how this works? For me at least?

The problem is, there are so MANY commies out there, it's hard to keep track of them all, but I've been TRYING to do what you say for several years. It still amazes me the number of supposedly "Christian" folks who continue to flock to Starbucks to buy grossly over-priced cups a' joe when the liberal, pro gay CEO has already told them he does NOT want their business. I suspect their Christianity is no deeper than the cup, and so it is with too many "conservatives," I think.

When we went to visit our first born, back in NC, he asked us not to discuss politics.
We brought him up right, we thought, to be more conservative; but he met and fell in love with a liberal in college.
So we didn't discuss politics -I caught myself before saying maybe the economy would pick up now - and we had a good visit.
Hope you all have a blessed weekend.

Gorges: I drink Starbucks coffee. Yes, I am a hypocrite. They should be boycotted, big time. But I'm weak. That, and a coffee-aholic.
My shame is great.
But I like their coffee. There. I've said it.

LindaG: happens to us all. Everyone in my immediate family grew up with Republican values, and everyone except my dad turned into a liberal. Well, not everyone. I didn't. We had 7 family members. Of course, we lived in Oregon, where I think the water has something to do with all of this.

You just be as snotty as you want about my love of books - you know, the paper models, but when the power goes out don't come running to me begging to borrow something to read. Not going to happen. You're fancy phone won't work, either. So there!
I'll just remain a happy old fashioned Luddite. Off to read my book now.

Fredd, TDS is a very serious disease of the mind; it has to be fought with MAGA Light. Have you noticed how progleft posturing clowns shrivel and die under the white glare of MAGA Light? I have, and I like it.
Ben & Jerry's is rubbish although I used to like their "Cherry Garcia." I scorn it now and good point, if you have an unrepentant lib in the workforce, fire it. You'll be doing the company a favor.

Oh yes, Most definitely boycott libtard interests where ever they may be.

Kid: yes, Micky D's has great coffee lately. This wasn't always the case, however. About 20 years ago, their joe was complete crap.
And I tend to agree with you: this 'peaceful transfer of power' stuff ain't working the way it used to. It's only a matter of time before the left will not want to let go of power despite what the Founding Fathers wrote down in The Constitution. Just look at how much effort the libs are putting into fouling Trump's ascention into the White House. I see impeachment talk coming straight away.
Of course, it was like this for Dubya, too. But this time it's worse.

I don't think these boycott things ever work. People want what they want and are too lazy and disinterested to keep a list of "don't buys" to check every time they go shopping. There are a few entities I currently boycott, but it's only a few.

Nope, boycotts don't usually work. Ever so true. But sometimes they do. Never say never, Kid. I just wish PHOT would pick up, I am tired of seeing a red number on my screen next to this ticker. I think I will likely keep this until it goes to zero, or turns around.

That LL Bean thing really rankled me, too...this all does.
I'm thinking people are waking up? I HOPE SO!
We're (Conservatives) just WRONG WRONG WRONG, and they're RIGHT; the new American Gospel.
Let's hope Trump can change this truly stupid impression pushed by the media somehow...?
- January 17, 2017 at 8:53 AM
- Kid said...
Fredd, PHOT and the other pennies were lottery tickets and bad timing.
GWPH is taken seriously by the Street. Take a look at the chart. I'd only buy it if it was looking really weak, like in a market crash. 2 more years before anyone gets to vote on reefer again.

Many of Trump's detractors are saying "Trump is not my President"; including members of Congress sitting out the Inauguration.. If he isn't your president then why don't you leave the country and renounce your citizenship.?
You petulant people can keep up that mantra if you'd like but it won't change the fact that he is The President. Every president-elect is entitled to a peaceful transfer of power; including Trump. It is something all Americans should celebrate.....even if your choice lost. Any obstruction or obfuscation or threat to disrupt is UnAmerican.
- January 19, 2017 at 2:55 PM

IMO: that's the way I see it, too. Like it or lump it, Trump's here to stay, and he's calling the shots.
Shut up and get over it.

3 Tips Everyone Should Know About Finding A Dallas Criminal Attorney
If you have found yourself in a situation of being charged with a crime be it a misdemeanor or felony, you are at a point where seeking a reputable defense lawyer may be the best direction to move in. When finding a Dallas criminal attorney there are a few tips that can help you choose the best lawyer possible. A good lawyer can be the difference between winning and losing your case.
1. Don't be lazy. It's important to do the legwork when finding a criminal defense attorney. You may need to seek out a specialist for your case and situation instead of using a general practitioner. When looking at a trial the chances are very good that you will be looking at a minimum cost of money and a maximum cost of time in prison. Do the work and find a good attorney for your needs and take the time to talk to them about their ability to help you.
2. Pay your due diligence. One of the biggest areas of confusion for most people would have to be in the area of billing, costs, and fees that are related to a lawyer. Begin by evaluating how much your able and willing to spend on a lawyer before you contact anyone. Take the time to make some calls and learn about how and why lawyers charge what they do. This can help you plan as best as possible for your defense needs.
3. Understand what having a lawyer means. Having a lawyer doesn't mean that you won't have to pay some fines or even spend some time in prison. The key to finding a criminal defense attorney is to know what they can, cannot, will, and will not be able to do for you. Knowing what their responsibilities are can help greatly when evaluating a potential lawyer to represent you.
When looking for the best choice as your representation in court, it's important to understand as much as possible about the process. Allow the lawyer to focus on the technical aspects in the court room. You focus on providing your Dallas criminal attorney with the information needed to prepare your best defense.

text: Anger is a much despised emotion, considered by most to bring us all too close to the edge of that precipice over which we dare not fall, lest we have to consider ourselves to be bad or even evil people. For most religions, anger itself is thought of as a sin. Many New Age or even New Thought practitioners tell us of the dangers of being angry—dangers that range anywhere from anger's power to make us operate from the "lower" self or the "ego," to its supposed power to attract so-called "negative" people and events into our lives. We fear our anger. We are ashamed of our anger. Therefore, we s

exmagician - 'Place Your Bets' (2015)
Despite forgetting their capital letters (I am constantly reminding my son, that's why), exmagician are my band of the moment.'Place Your Bets' is the first track that got me under their spell and is taken from the Belfast duo's excellent debut album Scan the Blue. The life long friends have collaborated before on the David Holmes produced, Cashier No9 album, To the Death of Fun (Oh Pity being a TOTW back in 2011). Similar in style but with perhaps a bit more psychedelica thrown in, siting Captain Beefheart as a major influence (yes Old Pa, that got your attention) the album is definitely worth your aural time!
Summer Flake - Shoot and Score (2016)
It's very apt that Wales will be playing 'ball-foot' against the mighty Russians on Monday night. Hopefully, it will be the boyo's in red who will shoot and score more than putin's bruisers. We dare to dream.
Case Lang Veirs - Atomic Numbers (2016)
Wow! a girl Super Group and these girls don't come bigger (in a nice way) Neko Case, K.D. Lang and Laura Veirs. This is a gret track with great production. I have listened tothe album once and will definately be going back. It is interesting and filled with superb harmonies. Each artist shines through. I don't normally like the Super Group thing but this works.

History of Superhero RPGs (Part Three: 1986-1992)
SUPER-TEAMSI stuck with core books when assembled my other RPG histories. But with supers- near and dear to my heart- I couldn't stop there. Secondary sourcebooks and setting materials define these game lines for me. Villains & Vigilantes wouldn't be the same without Death Duel with the Destroyers. DC Heroes needs the Hardware Handbook to offer another valiant attempt at a workable gadgets system. The various supplements shift Aberrant from just odd to over-the-top crazy. My Play on Target co-host Brian Cooksey cites Marvel's Ultimate Powers Book as crucial- a resource for any supers game. I feel the same way about Villainy Amok for Champions 5e. Early Champions, on the other hand, lives in my memory for the first two Enemies books, Monster Manuals of the superhero game. They offered weird characters who popped repeatedly over the decades in many GMs' campaigns. The list below includes a couple of game-changer supplements, including one of the best for any supers game.

If you haven't heard, the word is out on what the Fox network plans to charge for a :30 second commercial spot in this year's Super Bowl.
According to an article in Variety, advertisers will be asked to write a $4 million dollar check for just one half-minute long chunk of your attention.
Long before you'll experience this annual onslaught of advertising, and all in one evening, an elite group of consumers around the country in select markets will be getting the ultimate sneak peek. Yep, with all that money on the line, advertisers will be enlisting focus group panels to first give their 'yay' or 'nay' to these creative brand messages. With that feedback in hand, the spots will then be tweaked and sweetened to match what the groups deem as successful, memorable and most importantly actionable marketing messages once they land in your living room. The 'actionable marketing message' part means the crafty commercials will likely make you go out and consume that product or service.
Let's face it, you probably aren't going to go out and spend $4 million on a :30 second spot. Probably Joe? OK, you're not.
Still, you spend money to market your business. And that's why you should have your own super strategy to ensure your customers are being super-served in ways your competitors just can't match. Every day of the year. Not just during football season.
Depending on your product or service, it may be time to focus group test any number of aspects of your offerings.
Some areas worth closer examination include:
- Effectiveness of your advertising
- Packaging of your product (big talk these days about whether companies are being responsible on a sustainability level)
- Website effectiveness
- Strength of your brand (brand loyalty)
- Customer satisfaction
- Where you are vulnerable
The list could go on and on. And it does. The point is, the success of your business relies heavily on how well you know your market. We specialize in asking the right questions and in the right venue, to help you get there. So set a game plan for success. As always, we're here to huddle up and help. Contact Us! 888-703-4636.

New Delhi: Manna Dey's knack for singing classical songs may have been disadvantageous for his career in filmdom, but the singer honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award will be remembered for his versatility and masculine style of rendering love songs.
He proved his flexibility and versatility by going behind the mike for a range of songs like "Aaja sanam madhur chandani main hum", "Chunari sambhal gori udi chali jaye re", "Zindagi kaisi hai paheli" and "Chalat musafir moh liyo re".
All thanks to Shankar-Jaikishan, the composer duo who offered him a variety of songs.
Labelled as a classical singer, the music genius did not get due recognition compared to others, but he managed to sing over 3,500 songs in his decades long career, and Manna Dey's work helped him win some of the highest honours in the field of art and culture.
In his memoir "Jiboner Jolshaghorey" (translated in English as 'Memories Come Alive'), he thanked Shankar-Jaikishan, who closely worked with Raj Kapoor in films like "Awara" and "Shree 420", for sensing "that my masculine style of rendering love songs would appeal to the public".
"I am especially indebted to Shankerji, for had it not been for his patronage, I would certainly not have attained the heights of success I enjoyed in my career. Here was one man who knew how to bring out the best in me," Manna Dey mentioned in his memoir.
If he was thankful to Shankar-Jaikishan for tapping his versatility, he also credited actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor for seeing the potential in his singing.
"I used to consider Raj Kapoor one of the icons in this line. Nobody but him gave me songs like 'Pyaar hua ikraar hua' and 'Yeh raat bheegi bheegi'...," Manna Dey has been quoted as saying in one of his interviews.
"People would say Manna Dey and singing love songs? Impossible. But I proved it," he said.
The Shankar-Jaikishan, Raj Kapoor and Manna Dey team gave many hits, including "Tere bina aag yeh chandni", "Mudh mudh ke na dekh", "Ae bhai zara dekh ke chalo" and "Yashomati maiya se bole Nandlala".
Born as Prabodh Chandra Dey May 1, 1919, to Purna Chandra and Mahamaya Dey, Manna Dey's singing talent was noticed in his salad years and his uncle K.C. Dey, who was visually impaired, took him under his wings and mentored him. Manna Dey also took lessons from Ustad Dabir Khan.
Very few would know that legendary composer S.D. Burman was K.C. Dey's student and as a youngster Manna Dey used to idolise him.
Known as an open-throated singer, Manna Dey learnt the art from his uncle, a singer with mastery over many Indian musical genres.
At the age of 23, Manna Dey came to Mumbai. He was accompanying his uncle. As luck would have it, he got his first assignment when his uncle refused to sing for composer Shankar Rao Vyas, the song fell into Manna's lap, and thus with "Gayi tu gayi" from "Ram Rajya" (1943) he embarked on his journey as a playback singer in Hindi filmdom.
Although first break came to him easily and in the same year he even got a chance to sing a duet with Suraiya, one of the reigning queens of the era, in "Tamanna", his career didn't take off in a big way until his first solo "Upar gagan vishal", composed by S.D. Burman for 1950 film "Mashal", happened.
"Upar gagan vishal" turned over a new life in his singing career and Manna Dey won many battles as a singer though fighting only for second place as the top spot those days was reserved for Mohammad Rafi and Mukesh.
During his struggling days he assisted composers like S.D. Burman, Khemchand Prakash and composed music for several mythological films at the ripe (!) age of 25.
Later, Manna Dey worked with several celebrated peers and went behind the mike to sing classical masterpieces like "Puchho na kaise maine rain bitayee" and "Laga chunari main daag".
He also crooned romantic numbers like "Aaja sanam madhur chandani main hum" and "Ye raat bheegi bheegi" with the same elan.
Music lovers and fans were moved when he rendered patriotic song "Ay mere pyare watan ay mere bichhade chaman" and wistful number "Tu pyaar ka sagar hai".
He also struck the right chord with the listeners with fun and naughty numbers "Ek chatur naar" or "Chunari sambhal gori" or "Ay meri zoharajabi"!
How can one forget "Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi", a song from "Zanjeer" that epitomised friendship on the celluloid?
He sang in 14 Indian languages, including Bengali, Punjabi Malayalam and Gujarati.
A recipient of many honours, he was decorated with Padma Shri in 1971, Padma Bhushan in 2005, and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the country's highest honour in cinematic arts, was conferred on the veteran singer in 2007.
He also won National Award for best male playback singer for the film "Mere Huzur" in 1969 and in 1971 he won it for two films - Bengali film "Nishi Padma" and Hindi film "Mera Naam Joker".
His oeuvre includes lending voice to legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan's "Madhushala".
Manna Dey wanted to be as versatile as his uncle, who taught him to become a full-fledged good singer, an all-India singer, and he achieved it with aplomb.
"That's how I am what I am," he said in one of his interviews.

W called them 'noise' and I'd have to agree. They were loud and screaming and their stuff sounded like some sort of mix of goth, metal, punk rock. Their drums were catchy and I liked that another guy was also playing drums, but other than that, I just didn't get their music. I got so bored after awhile. W said it resembled early The Rapture stuff, but maybe I blocked out their early music because I barely recall it resembling anything like that besides the screamy singing style.
So, I'm not as obsessed with Radiohead as W and S are. Luckily, K wasn't either. She was listening to In Rainbows up until the show started. :P I was mostly there to be a part of history and say I saw Radiohead live. Don't get me wrong, I still like their music, I just don't know all the words like they do. I prefer the early albums like Pablo Honey and I love The Bends, so I was really excited when they played quite a few songs from The Bends. And OK Computer kicks ass too, so it was great hearing those songs. Hearing Talk Show Host and Karma Police were definitely highlights of the night. They put on a fantastic show. I'm so glad we sat as close as we did because onscreen they just played these abstract images of themselves on stage and you couldn't always see them. Since we were sitting so close, we got a chance to see Thom Yorke get really into the music and I loved his exciting dancing. And ok, hearing In Rainbows live was pretty damn good. The stage looked great. It had these gigantic wind chime-like things that set the mood really well for each song and displayed the lighting perfectly and made rain look quite realistic.

|Palace Malice before the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland in April, in which he finished 2nd.
The 1-1/8 mile Jim Dandy Stakes (Gr. II) at Saratoga had a field of Triple Crown warriors, as well as a few that bypassed that brouhaha altogether. The latter included Code West, who had won the Matt Winn (Gr. III) at Churchill Downs on June 15. Palace Malice proved that his win in the Belmont Stakes was no fluke and took the Jim Dandy under a strong hand ride from Mike Smith. Per trainer Todd Pletcher, he will be pointed towards the Travers Stakes (Gr. I) at Saratoga on August 24.
|Code West before the Matt Winn at Churchill Downs in June.
Also run at 1-1/8 miles, the Haskell Invitational Stakes (Gr. I) at Monmouth Park had shaped up to be the race of the weekend. Also featuring several Triple Crown warriors, the field included Preakness Stakes (Gr. I) winner Oxbow, Verrazano (winner of the Wood Memorial Stakes (Gr. I)), Vyjack (winner of the Gotham Stakes (Gr. III)), and Golden Soul (2nd in the Kentucky Derby (Gr. I)).
Verrazano had finished a disappointing 14th in the Kentucky Derby after chasing the suicidal pace set by Palace Malice. He returned to the races June 16 in the Pegasus Stakes (Gr. III) at Monmouth Park, facing Itsmyluckyday (2nd in the Florida Derby (Gr. I) and Preakness Stakes). A contest between the two horses never manifested, as Verrazano cheerfully seized the lead and ran away to a 9-1/4 length win. Itsmyluckyday was pulled up on the backstretch and later diagnosed with a pelvic fracture.
As I've liked both Verrazano and Oxbow since their debuts, I wasn't sure who I wanted to win the Haskell. Oxbow is as tough as they come, but when Verrazano is good, he is very, very good, and nothing less than a runaway train can stop him.
As he had in the Preakness Stakes, Gary Stevens guided Oxbow to the lead as Verrazano settled into a stalking position behind him. The veteran jockey is a master on the lead, but would it be enough? I carefully watched Verrazano and noted his loose ears and clean, free stride. Then I saw it--his rider, John Velazquez, glancing under his arm. He had a lot of horse and was waiting for the right moment to let Verrazano go!
At the half-mile mark, Stevens glanced over at Velazquez as Verrazano pulled alongside Oxbow. Power Broker, Rosie Napravnik up, then made his bid for the lead. It was happening! My husband grabbed my arm as Velazquez told Verrazano, "Go." The big dark bay colt moved forward smooth as silk and goosebumps rolled over my skin. His ears relaxed in the wind, Verrazano moved to a comfortable lead then, under urging from Velazquez, opened up a greater lead with no discernable effort, winning by a record 9-3/4 lengths.
As of today, he's officially earned a 116 Beyer for the race, and trainer Todd Pletcher says Verrazano will also point towards the Travers Stakes, which is very exciting. Unfortunately, Oxbow suffered an ankle injury in the Haskell and will be sidelined for an undetermined time. I hope to see him return to the races later in the fall.
You can watch Verrazano's performance in the Haskell Stakes here or below.

Records of Early English Drama
The Records of Early English Drama is an international scholarly project, aiming to establish, for the first time, the broad context from which the great drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries grew, by examining the historical manuscripts that provide external evidence of drama, secular music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony from the Middle Ages until 1642, when the Puritans closed the London theatres. It t works to locate, transcribe, and edit all surviving documentary evidence of drama, minstrelsy, and public ceremonial in England during the period.

Cuboid: A Most Puzzling Conundrum
Welcome to the fantasy world of castles, swords, crowns, and giant blocks on floating platforms? In Cuboid, you must navigate your 2×1 block through a maze to reach the goal, all the while dodging traps and triggering switches. With over fifty puzzling levels, ranging from the simple to the insanely difficult, you're sure to pick your brain trying to solve them.
The game is split into two categories, Beginner and Expert, each with thirty puzzles in increasing difficulty as well as a few challenge stages. The object of the game is to get your block to fall into a hole while making sure not to plummet off the edge of the board as quickly as possible and in the least amount of moves.
You never would have guessed it, but Cuboid is quite addicting. There is great satisfaction when you move that block into position and hear the winning chime. Some of the more difficult puzzles, especially the later ones on Expert, can take upwards of twenty minutes each. Yikes! That's what I call dedication. Of course, it's going to be different for everyone but it definitely takes some thought and pre-planing if you want to get the best score.
It's not as simple as just getting from one side of the board to the other. There are a variety of switches, weak panels that break if the block becomes vertical on them, and even a teleporter to either aid in your quest for glory or make things all the more difficult. The teleporter was the most interesting of the tools. They split your block into two cubes that you control individually and join back together when reunited. It takes the level to a whole new degree.
You're graded on how quick you complete the puzzle as well as how many moves it takes. The fastest times receive the title of Lightning and the most reserved get the shiny gold medal. The game keeps track of how many of each you've accumulated including total moves, play time, and falls.
Every game has faults and Cuboid is no exception. In attempting to beat every level, I found that there were some moments where I would have liked to get a better view of the board. It would have been nice to be able to control the camera to plan out your path but it was positioned well enough that it wasn't too bothersome. Also, visually the game could have used a more diverse color palette. Shades of browns and reds were abundant while colors like green and blue were somewhat absent. The four environments just didn't seem diverse enough. Either that or I was too focused on solving the puzzle.
Still, the few gripes present don't get in the way of gameplay and that's what makes Cuboid so great. It's fun to just pick up and play for a few levels or you can sit down and play them all. The challenge stages add an extra component into the mix but I'll let you see that for yourself. There are even trophies to add to your collection and with a level creator mentioned, this game looks like it is here to stay.

Member Reviews for Bazzini BarberaAdd your review
This wine is surprisingly light and fruity for such a dry red. Hints of berries combine with a grapy character to form an extremely smooth drinking wine that pairs perfectly with red sauces.
Hickory, smoked wood-chips, blackberries, cherries on the nose with a licorice undertone. The mouth is very well-rounded, which is earthy, and has strawberry and wet wool tones.
Black cherries and blackberry aromas. Smoky and acidic and big, with black fruit flavors and violets.
nose complete with cherries, raspberries, red plums with tinges of dried earth. very fruit forward, med + acidity with a little red licorice and sour cherries on the palate combined with vegetal/violet notes. light, delicate and enjoyable
Light-body, high-acid, soft, shifting tannins like tiny grabbing hands. Baby powder & rubber sole on the nose; bright red cherries in the mouth.
medium ruby in color. aromas of twizzler, violets, a little brett. a wine balanced in acidity, body, and tannins
Barbera is the second most widely-planted red varietal, after Sangiovese. The fruit is naturally high in acid, which it retains very well, even in hot climates. These characteristics make it a perfect accompaniment to most foods. Barbera is deep and purplish black in its youth. It can exhibit an attractive ripe aroma of red fruit, currants or blackberries. This family-style drinking wine is among my favorites. Suggestions: hot antipasto, pasta é fagioli, coal oven pizza, or pasta. One liter of exceptional quality wine makes this an exceptional value!

Review: 'FTL' conquers new frontier on iPad
Having dazzled PC players with its arrival in 2012, the independent hit FTL: Faster Than Light is exploring a new frontier: the iPad.
The top-down, real-time strategy game launched on Apple's iPad last week, and it's a tense, thrilling intergalactic adventure for the tablet.
Fans of the PC game are likely familiar with FTL's premise. Players man a spaceship that must navigate multiple intergalactic systems to deliver precious cargo that could save the galaxy.
Players tackle FTL from a top-down perspective, giving them full view of their ship, its crew and all its key components. Players manage the ship's power, distributing it between the engines, shields, medical facilities, oxygen, weapons and other features. On top of that, they must watch their fuel and weapons to ensure they're well equipped before venturing out.
During the journey, players will encounter several obstacles that might take them off their path, from distress signals to enemy rebels or pirates. This is where FTL gets really exciting.
Ship battles take place in real-time, but players can pause to carefully assess the situation. Using weapons such as burst lasers and missiles, players target sections of enemy ships to attack, such as taking down their shields or weapons.
Enemies do the same, forcing players to send crew members to a section of the ship to put out fires or fight teleporting intruders.
As players advance they can unlock new ships and other equipment. This version of FTL also features the Advanced Edition expansion, adding more ships, enemies and weapons.
Naturally, with FTL on the iPad, controls are revamped to work with the tablet's touch display. It's a delightful experience. Players tap between resources and crew members, quickly sending them off to repair medical bays or man weapons stations. Simple swipes up or down adjust power levels on equipment. It's not ideal when players need to quickly make changes on the fly, but they can pause to take their time and manage their crew and weapons.
What FTL maintains in its transition from PC to iPad is a gripping adventure. Nothing in the game is more nerve-racking than piloting a damaged ship, hoping the next beacon you hit leads to a store for repairs and not enemies waiting to finish you off. There's also the joys of taking down a massive vessel using well-planned strategy and timely resources. It's a great addition to any owner's iPad.

Chapter 5
He drained his third cup of watery tea to the dregs and set to chewing the crusts of fried bread that were scattered near him, staring into the dark pool of the jar. The yellow dripping had been scooped out like a boghole and the pool under it brought back to his memory the dark turf-coloured water of the bath in Clongowes. The box of pawn tickets at his elbow had just been rifled and he took up idly one after another in his greasy fingers the blue and white dockets, scrawled and sanded and creased and bearing the name of the pledger as Daly or MacEvoy.
1 Pair Buskins.
1 D. Coat.
3 Articles and White.
1 Man's Pants.
Then he put them aside and gazed thoughtfully at the lid of the box, speckled with louse marks, and asked vaguely:
— How much is the clock fast now?
His mother straightened the battered alarm clock that was lying on its side in the middle of the mantelpiece until its dial showed a quarter to twelve and then laid it once more on its side.
— An hour and twenty-five minutes, she said. The right time now is twenty past ten. The dear knows you might try to be in time for your lectures.
— Fill out the place for me to wash, said Stephen.
— Katey, fill out the place for Stephen to wash.
— Boody, fill out the place for Stephen to wash.
— I can't, I'm going for blue. Fill it out, you, Maggy.
When the enamelled basin had been fitted into the well of the sink and the old washing glove flung on the side of it he allowed his mother to scrub his neck and root into the folds of his ears and into the interstices at the wings of his nose.
— Well, it's a poor case, she said, when a university student is so dirty that his mother has to wash him.
— But it gives you pleasure, said Stephen calmly.
An ear-splitting whistle was heard from upstairs and his mother thrust a damp overall into his hands, saying:
— Dry yourself and hurry out for the love of goodness.
A second shrill whistle, prolonged angrily, brought one of the girls to the foot of the staircase.
— Yes, father?
— Is your lazy bitch of a brother gone out yet?
— Yes, father.
— Sure?
— Hm!
The girl came back, making signs to him to be quick and go out quietly by the back. Stephen laughed and said:
— He has a curious idea of genders if he thinks a bitch is masculine.
— Ah, it's a scandalous shame for you, Stephen, said his mother, and you'll live to rue the day you set your foot in that place. I know how it has changed you.
— Good morning, everybody, said Stephen, smiling and kissing the tips of his fingers in adieu.
The lane behind the terrace was waterlogged and as he went down it slowly, choosing his steps amid heaps of wet rubbish, he heard a mad nun screeching in the nuns' madhouse beyond the wall.
— Jesus! O Jesus! Jesus!
He shook the sound out of his ears by an angry toss of his head and hurried on, stumbling through the mouldering offal, his heart already bitten by an ache of loathing and bitterness. His father's whistle, his mother's mutterings, the screech of an unseen maniac were to him now so many voices offending and threatening to humble the pride of his youth. He drove their echoes even out of his heart with an execration; but, as he walked down the avenue and felt the grey morning light falling about him through the dripping trees and smelt the strange wild smell of the wet leaves and bark, his soul was loosed of her miseries.
The rain-laden trees of the avenue evoked in him, as always, memories of the girls and women in the plays of Gerhart Hauptmann; and the memory of their pale sorrows and the fragrance falling from the wet branches mingled in a mood of quiet joy. His morning walk across the city had begun, and he foreknew that as he passed the sloblands of Fairview he would think of the cloistral silver-veined prose of Newman; that as he walked along the North Strand Road, glancing idly at the windows of the provision shops, he would recall the dark humour of Guido Cavalcanti and smile; that as he went by Baird's stonecutting works in Talbot Place the spirit of Ibsen would blow through him like a keen wind, a spirit of wayward boyish beauty; and that passing a grimy marine dealer's shop beyond the Liffey he would repeat the song by Ben Jonson which begins:
I was not wearier where I lay.
His mind when wearied of its search for the essence of beauty amid the spectral words of Aristotle or Aquinas turned often for its pleasure to the dainty songs of the Elizabethans. His mind, in the vesture of a doubting monk, stood often in shadow under the windows of that age, to hear the grave and mocking music of the lutenists or the frank laughter of waist-coateers until a laugh too low, a phrase, tarnished by time, of chambering and false honour stung his monkish pride and drove him on from his lurking-place.
The lore which he was believed to pass his days brooding upon so that it had rapt him from the companionship of youth was only a garner of slender sentences from Aristotle's poetics and psychology and a SYNOPSIS PHILOSOPHIAE SCHOLASTICAE AD MENTEM DIVI THOMAE. His thinking was a dusk of doubt and self-mistrust, lit up at moments by the lightnings of intuition, but lightnings of so clear a splendour that in those moments the world perished about his feet as if it had been fire-consumed; and thereafter his tongue grew heavy and he met the eyes of others with unanswering eyes, for he felt that the spirit of beauty had folded him round like a mantle and that in revery at least he had been acquainted with nobility. But when this brief pride of silence upheld him no longer he was glad to find himself still in the midst of common lives, passing on his way amid the squalor and noise and sloth of the city fearlessly and with a light heart.
Near the hoardings on the canal he met the consumptive man with the doll's face and the brimless hat coming towards him down the slope of the bridge with little steps, tightly buttoned into his chocolate overcoat, and holding his furled umbrella a span or two from him like a divining rod. It must be eleven, he thought, and peered into a dairy to see the time. The clock in the dairy told him that it was five minutes to five but, as he turned away, he heard a clock somewhere near him, but unseen, beating eleven strokes in swift precision. He laughed as he heard it for it made him think of McCann, and he saw him a squat figure in a shooting jacket and breeches and with a fair goatee, standing in the wind at Hopkins' corner, and heard him say:
— Dedalus, you're an antisocial being, wrapped up in yourself. I'm not. I'm a democrat and I'll work and act for social liberty and equality among all classes and sexes in the United States of the Europe of the future.

After he commits the violent sin where does Stephen hear sermons that terrify him?

Right Click, Cut Function
Greetings All..Could someone please tell me, what it is the cut function on the right click menu for and when do you use it . Thanks for your help...Chet
|My System Specs

This allows your to move a certain file to a different location. Using the cut function, it will grab the file and when you click "paste" in the right click menu it will place the file in the folder you desire.
Whereas "copy" duplicates your file, "cut" will move the file to a desired location on your hard drive.

Thanks Again for a clear answer I should have cut instead of copy & paste. Later

Your memorable Instagram photos can now be printed and eaten on gourmet-printed marshmallows. That's right, a UK-based company called Boomf lets you print your favorite Instagram photos onto a square-shaped marshmallow. Using the Boomf app, you can choose nine of your photos through Instagram, then drop them through the letterbox provided to order instantly.
The image quality on the marshmallow is not superb, but is a fair representation considering they're literally edible. The best images to use are those with high-contrast and lighting. At the time they are only available within the UK, but will eventually be sold world wide. It's amazing how photos can actually be eaten, thanks to the power of the Internet.

Moments away from you make me go insane but I will bear it since I have no other choice of course. When I'm with you my heart is somersaulting and it is just a wonderful feeling. To be with you, sitting next to you, holding your hands and listening to your voice, these are the few simple things in life, you may say, that make my life so complete. You complete me, in every way. That's why I adore you, worshipping the ground you walk and it's not at all a blind faith but love, that comes from the deepest end of my heart, once belong to me but now it's all yours and I know you will make it safe. In your heart, I am safe too I know and you are making me so happy by giving me so much love. I get mad at you at times but I shouldn't have. I should cultivate patience and love you, madly like I do now. I feel I can love you more. I will.
I will love you more, and more and more till I die, my everlasting love….

Illustrated Articles
Arsenic poisoning is the accidental ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation of products containing a toxic dose of arsenic. The most common cause of arsenic poisoning in cats is ingestion of ant baits that contain arsenic. The clinical signs of sudden arsenic poison can vary depending on the dose. Supportive therapy is a crucial part of treating arsenic poisoning. Aggressive fluid therapy and rehydration is necessary and helps the body to remove arsenic from the body.
Since we want the best for our pets, we should include them in the go green movement. Here are a few ways you can create a cleaner, greener home for you and your pet.
The simple description of an abscess is a pocket of pus located somewhere in the body. A cat with an abscess will often have a fever, even if the abscess has ruptured and drained to the outside of the body. Appropriate antibiotic therapy is a critical component of the successful treatment of abscesses, no matter the location.
Acepromazine is used as a sedative and a pre-anesthetic agent. It also possesses the following properties: prevents vomiting, prevents muscle spasms, alleviates itching as a result of skin irritation and decreases temperature.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol®, Paracetamol, APAP, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol) is a pain relief and fever-reducing medicine people use for many types of pain.
Acetaminophen is a medication that is used to treat fever and/or pain in humans. Cats have a genetic deficiency in a metabolic pathway in the liver that makes cats vulnerable to acetaminophen toxicity.
This medicine may be prescribed to treat glaucoma – a disease of the eye that increases intraocular pressure and produces defects in the field of vision. Acetazolamide will reduce the amount of pressure in the eye.
Acute renal failure (ARF) or acute kidney failure refers to the sudden failure of the kidneys to perform normal filtration duties. ARF leads to accumulation of toxins and other metabolic wastes in the bloodstream, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and disturbances in the acid-base balance of the blood. The initial prognosis is guarded for all cases of ARF. If the cause is an infection, there is a better prognosis than if the cause is a toxic substance.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening complication of critical illness. These underlying critical illnesses may include sepsis, pancreatitis, pneumonia (either due to an infection or the inhalation of foreign materials), trauma, near-drowning, and other severe illnesses. In ARDS, massive inflammation and the release of various inflammatory chemicals leads to the leaking of capillaries within the lungs. Signs of ARDS include increased respiratory rate, blue discoloration to skin and mucous membranes due to poor oxygen delivery, and occasionally coughing. Treatment of ARDS is primarily focused on supportive care and addressing the underlying critical illness.
Addison's disease (the common name for hypoadrenocorticism) is caused by a decreased production of two hormones from the adrenal gland. These hormones are cortisol, a stress hormone, and aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone that regulates the body's water balance through its effects on sodium and potassium.

The Department of Defense announced 38 defense contracts Monday with a total value of $7.14 billion. Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) was easily the day's biggest winner, collecting three contract wins -- including the biggest award of the day.
That award, a $3.64 billion contract modification, accounted for more than half the funds on offer Monday. This modification definitized (i.e., set a final price on) the sale of 25 full rate production E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft for the U.S. Navy under a multiyear contract, as well as the cost of "advanced acquisition" of parts necessary to build the aircraft. Final delivery of all aircraft is expected to be complete by August 2021.
Additionally, Northrop Grumman won two related awards:
- a $10.3 million firm-fixed-price delivery order to procure avionics source data needed for future acquisition program sets to test the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. This contract will run through December 2016.
- a $6.7 million contract modification to supply the U.S. Navy with two spare E-2D Advanced Hawkeye engines. Delivery is due September 2015.

Have you ever read a novel that makes you feel absolutely certain it was written with you in mind? As if the author somehow possessed the ability to reach majestically across time and space to squeeze you gently on the shoulder to say this is for you.
That's the way I felt this week, when I read Zadie Smith's On Beauty.
Sadly, Zadie did not write On Beauty for me, though it often seemed that way. My reaction to this novel takes place on such an intensely personal level, I'm not even sure I'll be able to write a coherent review.
This won't prevent me from trying, however. Because I want to let you know how much I admire this book. I want to look you in the eyes as I press this book into your palms, like something precious.
As I explained at the end of last week's review, because I'm chronically disorganised, I've left things a little too late, and the novel I'm planning to read for 1935 is still on its way to my doorstep. So, this week, I took On Beauty from the top of one of my many staggering piles of books and started to read.
Why On Beauty? When I read E. M. Forster's Howards End last year, I knew almost immediately that it was one of the most inspiring, life-changing novels I've ever encountered. On Beauty is a modernisation of Howards End; it takes the basics of the novel's plot and places them in an entirely new, modern context.
Yes, I know. It sounds ghastly. Like film adaptations, this is exactly the kind of thing I generally try and avoid. But I've heard so many lovely things about Zadie Smith lately, that my curiosity got the better of me.
This novel could have been a shambles, a literary travesty. Thankfully, it was quite the opposite…
On Beauty
by Zadie Smith
Published in 2005
My University degree hangs on the wall of my study, though my name has since changed. After my three-year Arts degree, I still had no idea what to do with myself, so I went on to study for a fourth year. I specialised in Comparative Literature, which relies heavily on literary theory.
Literary theory, for the uninitiated, provides us with a number of different viewpoints through which to interpret works of literature. Personally, I've always had a love/hate relationship with theory.
All through my University career, there was one nagging thought at the back of my head; a deep, dark secret I couldn't speak without being laughed out of the department: whatever happened to simply enjoying books?
I'm telling you all of this because that, for me, is the essence of On Beauty is really about. It's about learning (or un-learning) to appreciate beauty for itself. On Beauty is an intense, funny novel about love, politics, art, family, race – and the way in which the things that connect us all sometimes drive us apart.
Right. If there's anyone left reading, I'll continue. I did warn you this review might lapse into incoherence…
The reason I told you about my experience with literary theory is because our main character, Howard Belsey, is a university professor in art theory. He lectures about art, but has completely lost the ability to connect with art. He's banned all "representational art" from his home.
Howard is white, middle-aged and in trouble. The book he's meant to be writing is lying in a stagnant pool of printouts on the floor of his study. His wife found out about the one-night stand he had a few months ago, and he's still sleeping on the sofa. And, to make matters worse, as the novel opens, Howard's eldest son has just sent him an e-mail from England announcing his engagement…to the daughter of his academic arch-rival, Monty Kipps.
While Howard forms the focal point of On Beauty, the rest of the beautifully dysfunctional Belsey family refuse to be relegated to the background. Jerome struggles with his faith in a family of atheists. Zora is intelligent, but insecure. Levi, with his baggy jeans and iPod is young, black and angry – and doesn't want anything to do with his middle-class family.
That leaves Kiki, Howard's wife. Overweight, but overwhelmingly beautiful, Kiki is an African American woman, married to a white academic – and perhaps the real star of this novel. When the Kipps family move into the neighbourhood, she begins an unlikely friendship with Carlene Kipps, the wife of her husband's nemesis.
What stands out most about On Beauty is Zadie Smith's amazing talent for creating characters. The Belsey family in particular are utterly triumphant creations; they're a large part of what makes reading this novel such an intense experience. They're crafted down to the finest detail, to sheer perfection. At 443 pages, On Beauty is quite a substantial novel, but it feels greater than the sum of its parts. It's like a little world of its own. I tried to spend as long as I possibly could reading On Beauty, because I couldn't bear the thought of having to say goodbye to the Belseys.
Okay, so they're not always the most likeable characters. Howard in particular: he's cheated on his wife, he's awful at his job, and, worst of all, he doesn't like Forster (gasp!). But there's just something about him, as with all the Belseys – an enduring, essential humanity you just have to like. They're messed up, but impossible to resist.
Smith, like Forster in Howards End, uses third-person narration to float between her characters, from the Belsey family to the Kipps family and in between. One chapter is narrated by one of Howard's students, and allows us to see his character from an entirely different (and not incredibly flattering) perspective.
The dialogue? Spot on. Smith's dialogue is so authentic, you can practically hear it in your head as you read. Each character has their own particular way of speaking. Kiki is warm and motherly (most of the time), Levi speaks the language of the streets. They swear. They rant. They YELL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. It's absolutely glorious.
Really, there's not a single thing I didn't love about On Beauty. Not a single thing. Zadie Smith's writing zings with truth, emotion, recognition. Like a satirist, she has a talent for sharp observation, but, for the most part, she uses it gently, with love. The result is warm and emotional and funny. Yes, funny. Actual laugh-out-loud-on-the-train funny. That's something a book hasn't made me do for a while.
As a homage to Howards End, On Beauty is a resounding success. But there's no need to have known and loved Forster's great novel to appreciate On Beauty. Smith's novel stands on its own, proud and perfect; so much more than just a modernisation of another work of art – it's a modern classic in its own right.
I'm not one to write lists of books. I'd never be able to sit down and write an all-time top ten of my favourite books. I just couldn't do it. I'd explode with the stress.
But if someone made me – actually sat me down in front of a piece of paper and threatened to inflict actual physical pain on me if I didn't write a list of my top ten favourite novels – then, On Beauty would feature in that list. Somewhere near Howards End, actually.
Official Book to the Future rating:
Superawesome! – Awesome – Okay – Blah – Superblah!
Should you read it?
Don't just read On Beauty; revel in it.
It crackles with genius, and, at the same time, it's utterly readable.
In a word…

Since the Lego movie came out, we have been accumulating all the Lego sets that go with it. And as you know, they so fricking expensive! The last one we have to get is Benny's Spaceship. It's always been $100 or more. The other night, I found it at Walmart for $80. You can order it and have it sent to the store closest to you.

text: So it's no secret that the super-special-awesome multimedia and car docks use magnetics to get you into that mode. But I got curious just now, so here is what happens when you put 1/4" cube neodymium magnets on certain spots on the device. If you already figured that this is how it works, good for you. These pictures are terrible, yes. You can click on them to see them in their full-sized horror. I didn't make a point of being artistic here, I just want to show you what happens. And yes, that is a box of Sensodyne. It was on my bathroom vanity, which is the best-lit area of my house at nighttime. This is where you want to put the magnet to activate the sensor. But the polarity is the key to choosing which "dock" gets activated. I don't have a polarity indicator to tell me which pole is which, but suffice it to say that one pole activates multimedia, and the other activates car. I tried this with 5mm diameter, 1mm thick neodymium disks, but they didn't work. That's the only other size I have besides 1" cubes which I'd be afraid to put by my phone though. You may want to look into something like 5mm by 2mm or 10mm by 2mm or something. 1/4" cubes aren't very compact if you're looking to be thrifty and make your own dock. You could just slip a thin disk into your design and it'd be totally discreet. Hey, making your own dock or buying an el cheapo one and slipping in a 10 cent magnet sure beats buying a $30 one, doesn't it? This also shows us that there may not be any more special docks to come, and if there will be, they won't be based on this technology. After all, both poles of the magnetic sensor have already been used.
