Help improve my day tell me a funny story, do a little jig anything please I need entertaining!!
He's a knob.
Who tries to get involved in politics.
like any other politician?
sorry. i won't start this here
You can't see me
but I'm break dancing while juggling on a unicycle (and typing too)
What breakdancing moves are you doing??!
and freezes
I always like a good back spin and kneespin myself
6-step always looks good too.
I can do some moves
very poorly and only after a few drinks (not too many)
I used to do fantastic
kneespins and backspins
I was aeful at everything else though - BGirl No Talent - and I lived up to my name!
Hell is gone and heaven's here
There's nothing left for you to fear
Shake your arse come over here
Now scream
I'm a burning effigy
Of everything I used to be
You're my rock of empathy, my dear
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Life's too short for you to die
So grab yourself an alibi
Heaven knows your mother lied
Mon cher
Separate your right from wrongs
Come and sing a different song
The kettle's on so don't be long
Mon cher
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Look me up in the yellow pages
I will be your rock of ages
Your see through fads and your crazy phases yeah
Little Bo Peet has lost his sheep
He popped a pill and fell asleep
The dew is wet but the grass is sweet my dear
Your mind gets burned
With the habits you've learved
But we're the generation that's got to be heard
You're tired of your teachers and you school's a drag
You're not going to end up like your mum and dad
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
He may be good he may be outta sight
But he can't be here so come around tonight
Here is the place where the feeling grows
You gotta get high before you taste the lows
So come on
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
So come on let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Glad to be of service x
I told a story yesterday
it was about roasting a cat. I don't think it would cheer you up much Han
Nah not really
Have you seen Jamie recently? Did he have a good birthday? xxx
I've lost his phone number
but my friend Laura sees him all the time and she says he's well. I should get his new number
Thats cool
Do you know anyone who works at the Sherman?
but I do walk past it everyday. Not that that's the same thing
I used to work there from September 2002
until January 2005.
I lived in Llanbleddian Gardens too - which is right opposite the Theatre.
Come here and finish my work
so I can fuck off to the pub early.
Alternatively, if you want entertainment: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1107691
I know, this afternoon is really dragging.
I blame DiS. I did loads of work this morning, or at least it seemed like it, so I rewarded myself by coming on DiS and since then I've done no work and it's too late to start doing any more work. And I've not been on DiS all of that time either so I've been stuck in this timeless limbo land ever since first logging on.
I nearly started a thread to this effect earlier, but decided that since I'd already started two solid gold threads today I'd be temptin fate by trying to start a third one.
Not really
I started this thread...
it filled up some of my dragging afternoon, so not all bad

The Role of Ict in Electoral Process in Nigeria
ICT, Youth and Electoral Process
ODEKANMI Benedicta
"Great Nigerian Students … Great". This is no doubt the way Nigerian Students in Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education greet themselves in social gatherings and the likes. And they make a great number of the youths but who is a Youth? A Youth could be described as someone between childhood and maturity stage in his development. This implies a youth is someone who can be described as an adolescent getting into the adulthood stage of development. The developmental stages of Psychology will say this is a Trial and Error period in of human development. Our society is in a state that it is the youth that make the greater percentage of those involved in ICT. ICT means Information and Communications Technology. This includes the internet, phones, GPRS system, GPS system, computers especially the laptops and mini-laptops and so on for the youth. Though some youths use more of Communication Technology than Information Technology by being on facebook all day, others use the Information Technology better by surfing sites that provide informative kind of things and yet, others are indifferent.
To some, a youth is someone who is 18 and above but to others it involves a greater part of the teenage years. You would agree with me that Nigerian Students in these various tertiary institutions make a great number of the Youth in Nigeria. That says at least that we value education to an extent in Nigeria. But in reality, not all students admitted into the tertiary are above the age of 18 years. Some are even as low as 14 year of age. It is this "youth" that are the most seen during elections because they are on the active side. They have their physical and mental minds sharp. It is this period of their lives they want to try new things and see whether it works out or not. However, it is of no doubt that the youth are...

I needed to do this, since I'm running a x86_64 machine, and netkit emulates a 32-bit one. Thus external programs cannot be run inside Netkit, which, surprise, is also a security feature.
1. Install netkit:
# yaourt netkit
2. Use the second method described in the Netkit FAQ to update packages in the VM image:
# mkdir /mnt/nkft
# mount -o loop,offset=32768 $NETKIT_HOME/fs/netkit-fs /mnt/nkfs
# chroot /mnt/nkfs
3. Install the build tools:
# apt-get install gcc g++ make automake autoconf libc6-dev binutils
4. Then proceed with Stackless (there seems to be no Debian package yet). First, install dependencies:
# apt-get install bzip2 openssl
# wget http://www.stackless.com/binaries/stackless-262-export.tar.bz2
# tar xf stackless-262-export.tar.bz2
# cd stackless-2.6.2
;; I tried building specifying "–with-threads –enable-shared" to
;; configure and it didn't work, with "PIC register ebx clobbered in asm".
;; Adding "–stackless-fewerregisters" might help if
;; you really need that. Thanks to Lloyd Weehuizen.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
5. After all goes well, as it always does, press CTRL+D. Then:
# umount /mnt/nfks

The spread of the Internet is remaking marriage markets, altering the process of courtship and the geographic trajectory of intimacy in the 21st century. For some Latin American women and U.S. men, the advent of the cybermarriage industry offers new opportunities for re-making themselves and their futures, overthrowing the common narrative of trafficking and exploitation. In this engaging, stimulating virtual ethnography, Felicity Amaya Schaeffer follows couples' romantic interludes at "Vacation Romance Tours," in chat rooms, and interviews married couples in the United States in order to understand the commercialization of intimacy. While attending to the interplay between the everyday and the virtual, Love and Empire contextualizes personal desires within the changing global economic and political shifts across the Americas. By examining current immigration policies and the use of Mexican and Colombian women as erotic icons of the nation in the global marketplace, she forges new relations between intimate imaginaries and state policy in the making of new markets, finding that women's erotic self-fashioning is the form through which women become ideal citizens, of both their home countries and in the United States. Through these little-explored, highly mediated romantic exchanges, Love and Empire unveils a fresh perspective on the continually evolving relationship between the U.S. and Latin America.

Conversations- Absolute Best PricePosted by kuzhali manickavel at 11:56 AM
S- I'm not feeling bad. I'm contemplating that very thin line that divides alleged Awesome Bargaining Skills from complete lunacy.
K- I'm just saying you should have asked me before buying that laptop. I could have got you a really nice one, pucca quality for the absolute best price ever.
S- 23 paisa.
K- Yes.
S- You could have got me a laptop for 23 paisa.
K- Yes.
S- Are you on drugs?
K- I seriously can. Company piece, full anti-virus with twelve English movie DVDs that haven't been released abroad yet. All pucca pucca. With free bag.
S- No warranty?
K- If you want a 10-year complete warranty on everything you have to pay two paisa extra.
S- If you can do all that, you are beyond powerful and influential. You are magic. You are Harry Potter.
K- I just know the right dealers. And these dealers have godowns.
S- I know dealers who have godowns and none of them sell laptops for 23 paisa.
K- That's where my Awesome Bargaining Skills come in. It's my skills that kills.
S- Do these skills involve crying? Do you threaten to blow your nose on them if they don't give you the laptop for 23 paisa?
K- Chee.
S- You throw a tantrum. You jump up and down and say 'Give me the laptop for 23 paisa! Give me give me give me!'
K- I do have a technique, if that's what you want to know.
S- I do want to know. I want to know how you bring a laptop price down from several thousands of rupees to 23 paisa.
K- First I laugh in the dealer's face when he quotes his price. I go HAHAHAHA! like the villain in a Tamil movie just before he rapes someone. When I laugh, it says to the dealer 'That price is absurd' and it also says 'You better rethink that price or I will END you!!!'
S- I will end you? What are you, some kind of deadly punctuation mark?
K- Then I unleash my I Will End You !!! Look Of Extreme Fear on the dealer.
S- Is that where your mouth hangs open and it looks like you're going to sneeze?
S- Iyo.
K- This is the look that is so powerful that if I wear sunglasses, I can be arrested for concealing dangerous weapons.
K- Why you are laughing?
S- Sorry.
K- I once gave an old woman this look by accident and she had a heart attack.
S- I have seen you give that look to people. It looks like you've fallen asleep with your mouth open.
K- With this look, I can make an auto driver take me round and round the city twice with one unnecessary drop at Guduvancheri. Guess how much I will pay. Guess guess.
S- No.
K- Two rupees.
S- I can go round and round the city four times with two unnecessary trips to Neelankarai and one unnecessary drop at Guduvancheri for one rupee.
K- I bought a Blackberry for 50 paisa and I get everything on it for free all the time forever.
S- I found a Blackberry on the road that has everything on it for free all the time forever.
K- My dental work picks up WiFi signals so every time I touch something, it becomes internet-enabled. Like if I touch a toaster. Or a plastic spoon. Or a fish.
S- You can create internet-enabled fish.
K- Did I just go too far and lose this game?
S- You were already losing at the 23 paisa laptop.
K- But I can really get you that though. Absolute best price, pucca quality. Really.

Yay! New conversations post! Being someone who has awesome bargaining skills himself, I can assure you that you CAN in fact buy a laptop for 23 paisa, I just bought myself an I-Pad for 25 paisa. I know its a bit of a steep price, but Im not chindi with great devices! You want? Its duty free and no McAfee antivirus to make your I-pad repeatedly restart!

hey paras, thanks for stopping by :)
25 paisa is rather pricey. considering that i got 2 iPads and an IPL franchise for 12 paisa but i gave the franchise back because i didn't really want it

I can get pucca quality weed for 1 paisa and a friendly smile. Do I get to boast of Awesome Bargaining Skills?
- April 24, 2010 at 11:08 PM
No no no, me me me. I win. When I go down the street people try and give me their kidneys for free and I'm like no, I got two already.

one day i hope the hp company is brought down in the fight club way.and talking of tamizh rape scenes,who do the about-to-be raped ladies seem to cover their breasts and not the important part? these tamizh ladies i tell you..
- April 25, 2010 at 10:04 AM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
@ bharat- hai and thanks for stopping by! that rhymes. puccaquality weed for smile and one paisa is indeed impressive. but not as impressive as the fact that i can get crystal meth for half a paisa and i dont have to smile. dont feel bad, dont feel bad
@ anonymous- no no no me win because when i go down the street people try to give me their kidneys and money and other people's kidneys also.
@ soin- this is so true. i feel it is connected with this habit many tamil heroines had in the past of covering their ears whenever something bad happened. this may be because when something bad is going to happen, the first thing you need to do is prevent your ears from falling off

- Bharat Iyer said...
Oh I'm an old patron; I've been lurking here for a while, stalker style. See? You're not the only one who can rhyme.
But is that puccaquality crystal meth? Your claim only stands if it's puccaquality, you see. It's imperative. It cannot be the kind you inject and start seeing dead cows in the sky. It happens.
- April 25, 2010 at 6:03 PM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
well i am very pleased that you have unstalkered yourself :)
i thought puccaquality meant you were SUPPOSED to see dead cows in the sky.

- Vishal said...
Hi Kuzhali,
I am a film maker and wanted to talk regarding a short story of your. I was thinking of making it into a short film. So if you can send me your email address.
- April 26, 2010 at 6:04 PM
- Bharat Iyer said...
That pleases me. :)
No no, nothing that unpleasant. Unicorns, fluffy bunnies, singing leprechauns, happy cows going moo, colours - that's more like it. Nice, wholesome, uplifting things. Nothing so macabre as dead cows with their feet sticking up in the air; that just brings you down.
- April 26, 2010 at 7:56 PM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
hi vishal, thanks for stopping by. you can send enquiries to email@example.com
@ bharat- i'm afraid that the AwesomeEthnicity police have just informed me that all those nice, wholesome, uplifting things are distinctly western in nature and not indian at all. i think that means you've been taking western meth which is having such corrupting effect on ours indian youths. also, i think it means that the awesomeethnicity police might be coming after you for not being indian and buying indian
- April 27, 2010 at 2:13 PM
- X said...
Crystal meth isn't funny. It's a horrible environmental catastrophe that rots peoples teeth out and makes them do terrible violent things and then, most of the time, kills them. Please don't buy any, not even for half a paisa.
- April 28, 2010 at 2:50 PM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
true, true. i think that can be said about a lot of drugs.
- April 28, 2010 at 5:39 PM
- Scherezade said...
"I will end You" should be on a coffee mug.I'd buy that mug. Like totally.
On second thoughts I think I might have seen it in the sub-titles of Five Deadly Venoms.
Very Shaolin Kung Fu style bargaining this sounds like.Very effective also. Such skills come handy while shopping in Colaba.
Deeply sorry to say that there are no more roads left in Mumbai what with BMC's digging frenzy so I have zilch chances of picking a Blackberry. However, the TOI classfieds page is glad to be offering BlackCherry/BlueBerry at a discounted price. :D
- April 29, 2010 at 4:54 PM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
scherezade, i believe you can purchase this one number Blackcherry/Blueberry, and put in one number Guuci bag which may also contain Nakia fone.
- April 29, 2010 at 7:30 PM
- X said...
Actually I don't think any other drug quite measures up to crystal meth in terms of chemical horribleness as a byproduct of production. Unless you count the aerial pesticides they keep dropping on the Colombian coca plantations. And even then meth may win.
- May 1, 2010 at 2:36 PM
- kuzhali manickavel said...
what if there are other drugs being made in worse ways and we just don't hear about them?

what would you like to add and where. We could consider adding a content region to allow you to add content to the checkout page.
There is a content area for the header already, you could add your message there in the meantime.

New house, New nephew, no BFP. ::sad trombone:: Better luck next time, eh?
Closing on the house went fairly smoothly, not too much paperwork to sign, and I think we were done in an hour. Afterwards, I was mentally wiped so we went out for pizza and root beer (since I couldn't have regular beer).
The next day my nephew was born! Bradley William took his first breath of air at 4:27pm on October 18th and I got to be there for all of it! I was *so* happy! He weighed 8lb 12oz and was 20.5 inches long. He also barely cried at all, which really surprised me. He started nursing only minutes after the umbilical cord was cut - he latches on like a champ. His very first article of clothing was a onsie that read "I was worth the wait". The next day he sported another one reading "I am an answer to prayers". I could seriously cry!
Unfortunately, Friday, I woke up to a still very high post-O temp, but very clearly red spotting. I went out for breakfast, distracted myself with Words with Friends, and only let myself cry once I was driving home. Five minutes of crying, guys. I have managed to compartmentalize my anticipated, but still upsetting, BFN into 5 minutes. I don't know whether that should make me happy or depressed... I tested Saturday morning to confirm (mostly because I really wanted to be able to drink to deal with the stress of all these changes) and moved on with my life. Interestingly enough, while playing Words with Friends to distract myself from another failed cycle, I accidentally spelled out with my letters "Fear Not". I decided to take it as a sign of comfort from God and after that made an effort to focus on all the good things that are happening in my life right now.
We weren't supposed to get the keys to the house until this evening, but Sunday around noon, the sellers called us to say they were cleared out and the keys were hanging in a hiding place on the front porch. I wanted to drive straight over, but I had a Zumbathon I promised to attend that was a fundraiser for a baby girl who needs a liver transplant. So M loaded up his car with packed boxes and a I told him I would be down to the house as soon as I could. Between the Zumbathon, my new nephew, getting the house early, and preparing for another long TTC break, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted by the time I get to the new house. I curled up on the stairs while M, his mom, and her boyfriend carried things in from the cars. I looked around at all the walls, floors, and fixtures I could see and kept thinking "this is *mine* now!" The first thing I unpacked was the Fall themed wreath for the front door and hung it in its place of honor.
There's still so much work to do. Have to schedule all the repairs the sellers agreed to pay for, have to clean the floors before the furniture moves in on Saturday, have to finish packing... The rest of 2012 is going to fly by in a blur I imagine and I only hope I'm able to spend enough time with my sister and the baby.
One good thing about taking a TTC break for the holidays: I can finally get a steroid shot for these crazy hives!! Ugh!!!!
I am an infertile woman in a fertile world. The failures get to you after a while, that's what blogging is for.

Congratulations Auntie! I'm sorry about the BFN though. Sometimes a break so just what the doctor ordered though. Take some time, relax, and enjoy the holidays. To be honest that sounds heavenly to me!ReplyDelete

|Nigella Sativa (Black Caraway) Flower Picture
Nigella Sativa are hardy annuals that grow from 15 to 60 cm in height. Their seeds are often used in cooking. Nigella blooms in the summer with blue, pink or white flowers and have feathery leaves, bearing five to ten petals produce an inflated fruit that contains the much sought-after seeds.
In herbal medicine, a natural substance known as nigella sativa is sometimes used to treat certain health conditions. Nigella sativa grows throughout India, Arabia, and Europe and has long been used as a spice and food preservative. Nigella was regarded as a panacea by the ancients, and played a central role in the medical practice of Middle Eastern and South Asian societies for over 2000 years, where it was used for the treatment of a range of conditions including asthma, headache, dysentery, infection, back pain, dermatological and gastrointestinal conditions.
In modern research, Nigella Sativa has been shown to possess potent anti-inflammatory activity, lipid, glucose, and blood pressure lowering effects, anti-allergic effects, as well as neuroprotective, antimicrobial, and smooth muscle relaxing effects. Preclinical research has indicated potentially important anticancer effects, though this has yet to be investigated in human studies.

Hello Family,This has been an interesting week, and it sounds like you have all had interesting weeks. Shane has been here and there, but stuff like that happens, more often than one would think. I hope you're doing well Shane. It sounds like the journey was successful and fun. Erik will have to tell me about the cruise, and I hope the rest of the family is also doing well despite surgeries.This week, the patriarch was in Perm (1 of 3 in Europe East area), and I had the opportunity to spend some time with him. Patriarch Rodgers. He is American, knows Russian, German, and taught at BYU russian and russian literature for 31 years. He is very nice. Our mission president was also here, so we got to spend some time with them. We helped the sister missionaries move apartments, and will will move soon about a 5 minute walk away. Russia is generally really safe mom, and the apartments we have are quite nice, but we just have to move due to a new law.The snow is finally melting, and it is warming up outside so that it is not very often below freezing, so that is very nice.A few of our investigators, we have not been able to get a hold of, and even a few people that were seemingly very interested had stopped answering their phones, but on the other hand there have been a few exciting things happening with our other investigators. We met with женя and had committed him to a baptismal date. He wondered why we committed him to a date, but he said he would be baptized this week if his mom were not against it. He is older than 18, but respects his parents and lives with them. He says that she is also growing more open to his association with us. He is regularly coming to church, but we want him to stay the whole time and help him increase his commitment level. Hopefully his mother will see that and be okay with him joining the church. He has met many members now, has a connection with them, and hopefully his mom becomes okay.
Another investigator, надежда katia's mom has agreed to a baptismal date and has a desire to find out if the church is true. She also invited a friend to be on a meeting, and it seems like he will be interested as well.This week I had an interesting experience. We saw a drunk man in the middle of the street. He could hardly even move he was so drunk. I had made a selfish, haughty remark, and my companion caught me. We decided to help him, with the help of another person on the street so that the man would not get frostbitten, and to open up the street. At first I had looked at him like an animal rather than looking at him like person. After I had carried him and served him, I saw him differently. He, even the very drunk man, is a child of God. Although we shouldn't be around those people or talk to them because they do not have any sense, that event has caused me to look differently at others. I know service is really important, and if do serve others that our love towards them and God will grow. I love you all. Bye. -Elder Larson.

Do you have the Tome of Ultimate Mapping?
Are you trying to create symbols and catalogues from things you have drawn in CC3, or are you trying to make them using png files?
What kind of symbols are you trying to create and turn into catalogues (Dungeon, Overland, or City - some of which have two files to shade the rooftops)
Have you ever watched Joe Sweeney's video about importing png files and creating symbol catalogues, or any other video (so I don't go and re-recommend any of them)?
Posted By: Saito SI thought it might be in the same area on the ProFantasy site where I can download the software I've purchased, but it's not there.It is in the Downloads tab on the Registered Users page, but as with all ProFantasy products, it requires that you have registered the purchase to add it to your account. There is a handy button in the order confirmation to do this automatically, but it is fully possible to not click it. If you own the Tome but haven't added it, you must find and register the serial, available on the order confirmation email. If you can't find that, you can always have your order history resent.
(I'm not sure why the two links are not clickable links...)Links don't get clickable automatically. You'll need to add the html (or BBCode, depending on your post formatting settings) code to make an actual link.
When should I use File > New > Symbol Catalogs, vs. Open Existing Map > Symbol Manager > New?First one is for starting a brand new symbol catalog, second is for creating a new symbol in the currently open file (be it a map or a symbol catalog, whatever you have open in your main map window). Note that the latter option is rarely used, it is generally easier to draw the symbol in the main window and then use Symbols -> Define Symbol instead (Which again defines it in the currently open file)
for example, I don't recall "Define Symbol" being mentioned at all in the video, but it was presented as something I "need to use" after drawing a new symbol in the other threadDefine symbol is used when you have drawn something in CC3(+) that you want to turn into a symbol, while if your symbol is a png file you would be importing it instead.
Posted By: Saito SRe: the Tome - Wait, this is a paid-for product? In that case, I must have been been thinking of something else, some other mapping resource, because I don't think I ever bought it (and it's not in my purchase history). I may do so at some point, but not just yet, things are a little too tight right now. So I DON'T have access to the Tome, after all.
Posted By: LoopysueI really wouldn't advise modifying the bought product catalogues. Its better to make a new one with your own file name.
That's a shame about the Tome. It has whole loads of info in it about all of this.
And don't worry - I'm known for misunderstanding the question around here! :P I have autism and take everything completely literally unless I'm really concentrating. The sort of person that gets a joke about half an hour too late and then falls apart laughing while everyone else looks on in a state of bewilderment.

There's a manual that comes with CC3, which has a lot of useful information in it. The Tome isfarmore comprehensive and detailed, and highly recommended if you're willing to spend the money.
Posted By: Monsen
If you are making more than a 2-3 symbols, I strongly recommend just keeping them in your own catalog file instead of modifying the official catalogs, and instead create a catalog setting (See Symbol Catalog Filters and Settings starting on page 83 of the manual) for your new catalog, so that it will pop up as an additional choice when you use the symbol catalog buttons.
Posted By: Saito SIf I've got that right, then my question is: why do you recommend that? Is there a technical reason, some way in which adding several symbols to an existing catalog can potentially cause a problem? Or is it recommended because most people find it easier to sort larger numbers of symbols with different catalogs?Ease of maintenance mostly. Official symbol catalogs may be overwritten by a patch without warning, as they are files belonging to the program, not the user. Keeping symbols in your own separate files prevents this. It also makes keeping backup easier, as well as distributing the symbol catalogs (either to other computers you own, or to other people). If you keep your symbols in the official symbol catalogs and they get overwritten by a patch, you cannot simply copy back your copy of this file, since that would also effectively revert the patch, you need to extract the symbols in question from the old backup and then insert it into the new file. Also, if you do wish to distribute the symbols to others, you cannot legal distribute the entire ProFantasy symbol catalog, so you need to go to extra steps to extract your symbols, instead of just having them in a separate file you can freely distribute. (Freely assuming they are your own symbols though, and not a modification of the PF symbols, like you did with the example airport).

With Killzone 2 and Street Fighter IV due later this month, February was already packed full of exciting PS3 games. Apparently unsatisfied with this, the Playstation Store has added even more value early in 2009, with two cracking downloadable titles available this week: Lumines: Supernova, reviewed seperately, and Cuboid. It might be an incredibly simple idea, but often puzzles that look easy (like, say, the Rubik's cube) provide lasting entertainment. The basic premise is as follows: you control a cuboid which is two blocks long, one block high and one block wide (essentially two small cubes stuck together), and you can roll from one side to another (across any straight edge). The aim of the game is simply to manoeuvre the cuboid to a glowing door in the level to allow an escape. Simple right?
Well, obviously not, otherwise there'd be little point in the game. It's not graphically impressive at all, the sound is a bit limp and the entire presentation is quite basic, so the game really does rely completely on the puzzle elements. Luckily, these are well thought out, with some fiendish puzzles to keep you occupied. In all levels, the aim of the game is to get the cuboid safely through the glowing door, but between the start and exit, there will be gaps where the cuboid can't roll (all downward pointing faces of the cuboid must be in contact with a surface, otherwise the cuboid will topple over the edge), and also other obstacles such as creaky floorboards, where the cuboic cannot stand on end, switches, controlling bridges between areas, and teleport switches, allowing the cuboid to temporarily split in two, manoeuvre about independently, then reform to complete the level. That's essentially all there is to it (see the screenshots for a visual example), but actually getting your cuboid's position and orientation correct for each move is pleasingly mind tickling.
There are 60 levels to tackle, increasing in complexity, and also 6 special levels where there is an additional limit: you have a set number of moves with which to complete the level. For each level, there are awards to earn in two categories. Firstly, the optimality of your route is graded, with gold, silver, bronze or no award available, depending on the number of moves you took to complete the level. Secondly, your speed is classed with a text rating, ranging from Measured (if you had a good old think) through to Lightning (if you use psychic powers and cat-like thumbs). Actually, once you've completed a level once, it's usually not too hard to figure out the optimum route and practice for a good speed rating, but this is where one small criticism of the game arises: the controls are sometimes a little slow to respond. The menus are the most sluggish, but even the in-game controls will occasionally surprise you when the cuboid performs another move long after you stopped trying to pursuade the thing to roll. It doesn't cause too much frustration though, since you can swiftly get the hang of the response time, and measure your control pushes accordingly. Still, it would've been better had the problem been avoided completely.
Adding a little to the lastability of the game, there is trophy support, but the challenge is slightly lacking. There're trophies for beating a certain number of levels at lightning speed, and for being awarded a particular number of gold ratings, but surprisingly there's no trophy for achieving perfect results on all levels. In addition, the challenge of the existing levels is perhaps a little limited, in that once you've got the hang of manoeuvring the cuboid, it's only a matter of time before you spot the way through. Still, there's some brain-stimulating fun for a good few hours in this title and I highly recommend it. If the game were a little cheaper on the store, it'd likely get a slightly higher rating, but this basic title is a little overpriced. That said, it's one of the most enjoyable puzzle games available, and certainly worth a look.

5 Takeaways That I Learned About Experts
Information on Holistic Dentistry Holistic dentistry is concerned with oral care in a more thorough perspective. It is not only concerned with oral care but how it affects the rest of the body. Contrary to traditional dentistry it is not only concerned in dealing with the symptoms but what brings up the symptoms in the fast place. This is not to say that traditional dentistry does not include aspects of holistic dentistry. With research determining that there is a connection between oral health and conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart attacks and cancer it has become imperative for dentist to go an extra mile. Holistic dentistry has embraced the challenge to deal with dental issues in an effective and more healthy manner. The first appointment in centers that have embraced holistic dentistry practices will be dedicated to conduction conclusive analysis. They gain information on the direction of your oral health and if it has had any implications on the rest of your body. The session takes two hours maximum for thorough check ups. The analysis will form the basis of how the treatment will be effected . They advise their clients to be thorough but straightforward in their description of their oral health. If they have had dental x-rays they are encourage to bring them along for treatment. The procedures assist in reaching faster and more appropriate results with respect to oral health. They are keen to develop relationships with their clients other than for treatment purposes only. This explains the approaches they have with respect to sedation with many resorting to methods like music therapy and movies to make it pleasant for the patient. Other than use of injections they have opted for mouth induced anesthesia for their patients needs. While some are not opposed to use of little bits of fluorine others have done away with the practice completely. Holistic dentistry takes into account the overall health of the patient. The use of mercury fillings is completely shunned in the holistic dentistry field. This may be attributed to their stand that mercury even in small doses could negatively affect the body. Instead they offer other alternatives. They have objections concerning the root canal therapy because rather than solving the issue it tends to conceal it. They have improved on ways to deal with issues of the same nature in a more effective manner.
The 10 Best Resources For Experts
They settle for procedures that will have a positive response for their clients health. They have to test the effectiveness of the treatment before they advance it to their patients. Not only that they give patients alternative treatment methods to choose from. This gives them an opportunity to give you a unique experience in the dental care services.Where To Start with Health and More

A cat who walked 12 miles only to be rejected by his old owners gets his happy ending
Toby's story went viral after his heartbreaking story was shared in March.
A cat who walked 12 miles only to be rejected by his old family has finally got his happy ending.
Toby, an orange and white cat from North Carolina, US, lived with his owners for years before he was given to another family after they grew tired of him.
But the brave seven-year-old cat ventured a dozen miles back to his old home to be reunited with his family. Sadly, they did not want to take him back.
Instead, his old owners took him to a local shelter to have him put down.
But hope came when the shelter did not follow through with the family's request and instead called local animal shelter SPCA of Wake County, who took him in, neutered him and treated an upper respiratory infection.
Soon after, the shelter found him a new home and he was adopted on Friday April 13.
Since news of Toby's ordeal broke, his story has been shared around the world. He initially entered the spotlight in March when SPCA wanted to promote their 2018 Dog Walk event in May, on Facebook.
When Toby's family no longer wanted him, they gave him to another family. But Toby missed them, and walked 12 miles back...Posted by SPCA of Wake County on Wednesday, April 4, 2018
It was an Instagram post by Beth Stern, a foster mother to a number of cats and wife of US TV and radio personality Howard Stern, which brought Toby to his new owner, Michele.
View this post on Instagram
North Carolina friends: Ok sorry to be Debbie Downer but this just about killed me. ・・・ Toby is still at the shelter and in need of a forever home. He's not good with other cats. This is his story... A cat, Toby, who was given away, escaped and walked 12 miles back to his original home. When he got there, his former people took him to a shelter and asked that he be euthanized. He wasn't, but..he still needs a home as he's at the shelter - a home with someone who will not only love him, but guard him as he'd likely try to get 'home' again. I think that somehow we could find transport for Toby out of NC if necessary? Please contact https://spcawake.org/
Michele's sister alerted her to Stern's post and it was at that moment that she knew Toby belonged to her, according to SPCA.
He now lives with two other cats.
Almost half of the $5,000 target for the Dog Walk event has been raised for the animal welfare shelter. The event will take place on May 6.

Five Spirits ... Immeasurable wisdom
I recently found a treasure at my local library (a motherlode of goodies in itself!) ... Lorie Eve Drechar's Five Spirits: Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological and Spiritual Healing. As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lorie imbues her work with an understanding of alchemy (Taoist, European, and Tantric) which potentiates "transformation -- the reorganization and spiritual upgrading of organic life."
I've only read 13 pages thus far, and I have that spine-tickling sense that this book is a find. Already I've learned that the pictographic language of China is composed of "multidimensional gestalts, immediately perceived wholes that integrate and unify a host of related multisensory impressions and ideas."
-- ! -- That's what poetry is, I think, and That's a beautiful description of trigrams and hexagrams.
Of Tao, Lorie writes, "Tao makes a space in the known where the uknown can happen ... Tao is the ongoing ever-imminent, ever-astonishing arising of the possible."
Here's a direct link to Lorie Eve Dechar's website: http://www.fivespirits.com/index.html.
I'm off to read now...

Wednesday, 15 April, 2015:
Some days it just feels right to stay in La Hacienda all day reading a good book and watching a movie while sharing a couch with the love of your life.
Today, also a damp one, was one of those days.
In the evening, it was really nice to only have the Senior practice now that the Junior season is over.
We had a good turnout and I think that we had the right mindset at practice going into our last regular season game against the 2-5 Búfals in Barcelona next Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
After Sunday's game, Laurie and I will be staying in Barcelona for a couple of days as we give the Cobras the usual Monday after a game off.
Our playoff run will start in two weeks on Sunday May 3rd. As the Par Conference's #2 team, we will play at home against the #3 team from the Impar Conference.
The Impar Conference's #2 and #3 playoff teams are still somewhat of a mystery. Their #1 team is not a mystery at all as the Barberà Rookies are a perfect 7-0 on the campaign.
The #2 and #3 seeds will be decided this weekend as the 4-3 Granada Lions travel to Madrid to play the 3-4 Las Rozas Black Demons, while the 3-4 Coslada Camioneros have a tough road trip to the home of the 7-0 Barberà Rookies.
There are four scenarios possible in the Impar Conference.
SCENARIO 1: If Granada and Barberà both win then it is Barberà (8-0) #1, Granada (5-3) #2 and Las Rozas (3-5) #3.
Although Las Rozas and Coslada would both be 3-5 under this scenario, Las Rozas wins the tie-breaker. They split their two games but Las Rozas wins out by aggregate score in the two contests having outscored Coslada 26-15.
The Cobras would host the 3-5 Las Rozas Black Demons if this scenario happens.
SCENARIO 2: If Granada and Coslada both win then it would be 7-1 Barberà #1, 5-3 Granada #2 and 4-4 Coslada #3.
The Cobras would host the 4-4 Coslada Camioneros if this scenario happens.
SCENARIO 3: If Las Rozas and Barberà both win then it would be 8-0 Barberà #1, 4-4 Las Rozas #2 and 4-4 Granada #3.
Las Rozas would get the higher seed and a first round home game based on the Black Demons having beaten Granada in both of their confrontations.
The Cobras would host the 4-4 Granada Lions if this scenario happens.
SCENARIO 4: If Las Rozas and Coslada both win then it would again be 7-1 Barberà #1, 4-4 Las Rozas #2 and 4-4 Granada #3.
In this scenario, 4-4 Coslada, even with an epic upset of the Rookies, wouldn't make the playoffs as they would still lose both tie-breakers to Las Rozas and Granada. Coslada lost both games against the Granada Lions and would still lose the tie-breaker vs. Las Rozas as outlined in SCENARIO 1 above.
Las Rozas wins the tie-breaker vs. Granada in this scenario as discussed in SCENARIO 3 above.
The Cobras would host the 4-4 Granada Lions if this scenario happens.
All that being said . . .

He was a force in those days, writing with prospective and grace. His work was like little capsules that one would take and end up a bit pulp smarter.

I am a little unsure why you called him mysterious, he was known and accessable during the time that he was researching pulp magazines. However he did hold one mystery for me. That was how he could read so much so quickly. It was as if he would read an entire pulp novel for lunch. The breadth of his reading was impressive. One has to wonder as he was cramming so much knowledge into one brain if ever for a nanosecond, he confused some psudo-science from a pulp story about going to the moon with the real thing.

His prose was a pearl. Later, he began emerging as a writer of hardboiled short stories with contributions to the revived Black Mask. Then death took him.Daryl S.

Unfortunately I'm about 60 pages into actually reading it and the pictures are turning out to be the highlight, whereas the text is rather glib and strikingly bereft of much info on the Lydeckers themselves.

If you're into behind the scenes PHOTOS this is a must buy. But if you want to read any sort of in depth info on the lives and process work of the Lydeckers, at least so far I can't recommend it. I'll get to the end of it before I really give a public review, but right now I'm feeling pretty glum about what is written.shonokinhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33610708.post-77578351989650075012010-09-10T19:47:10.174-07:002010-09-10T19:47:10.174-07:00great review, and I plugged it (and your blog) on ...great review, and I plugged it (and your blog) on the Xenorama facebook page.Xenoramahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33610708.post-24362080815704487342010-09-01T08:32:14.285-07:002010-09-01T08:32:14.285-07:00Hi there, (again) I like this blog, great stories....Hi there, (again)

So please proceed with caution if you decide to use it.

And you've certainly not lost me as a listener! No worries about that.

BTW, have you heard of Manly Wade Wellman? He wrote a few stories with/about the Hand of Glory. That is where I first heard of the Hand.shonokinhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33610708.post-230472509726776332010-01-08T11:40:03.706-08:002010-01-08T11:40:03.706-08:00That's a GREAT deal of help, shonokin -- and I...That's a GREAT deal of help, shonokin -- and I really do appreciate the constructive feedback.

We do struggle with a couple of problems, and one is that as awesome as Arthur Russell is, he does tend to go up and down quite a bit. But we love it so much, we try to compensate. In more recent (s3) episodes, I've been focusing on reducing his volume during the edit, but sometimes I guess we slip (it's only me and Jeremy editing, and sometimes we struggle with this). Sorry to hear it's still a pain. I'll definitely look into the levelator. It seems as though that might be something we can run all the episodes through, improving some of the mixing quality without going back and doing a true re-mixing of the series (which would be a bear).

Thanks again for the feedback, and I'm glad you stuck with the show as long as you did! Hopefully, we can rectify some of these problems, and keep you on as a listener!

1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you face temptation, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
There was a study conducted last year that found out 77% of Christian men look at pornography at least monthly and about 36% admit to being addicted. Unfortunately, I believe this number to be even higher. Lust is an issue permeating every area of our lives. It is in songs, movies, TV, books, billboards, ads; it is almost everywhere we look. The temptation for men, and women, is running rampart over our lives.
It's easy to get discouraged and give in because there's no way we can resist it all in today's world. And it is true, we can't; but through the strength of the Holy Spirit, we can. God knew we would face intense temptation; even Jesus was tempted by the devil for 40 days. But God always provides a way of escape.
Next time you're tempted to give into lust, run. God tells us to flee from temptation (II Timothy 2:22); so get out of there. Go somewhere with other people, ask a trusted friend to talk with you, quote scripture, talk with God, go for a walk. The list of strategies you can implement to help resist temptation could go on and on. Find what works for you; then do it. But above all, be in constant communication with Jesus. Turn your eyes to Him and you'll find the desires of this world begin to fade.
|Do lust and sex have a chokehold on you?
|What strategies do you have in place to resist these temptations?
|Figure out ways in which you can best resist temptation, and then implement them. Ask God for his strength and turn your eyes to him.
