Why the Greedy Bass Got Into the Frying Pan " Tbis is not a fish story, because it's true. Last Sunday while three or four of tbe week-enders from tbis city were strolling on the beach at Christina lake they met little Betty McCallum trying to carry a four pound bass without showing signs of being overweighted, "Where did you get tbe big fish?" asked tbe week-enders. "I caught it in tbe lake," replied the little "But how did vou catch itl" "With my hands." Tbe last answer s emed so ridiculous tbat tbe men tried to laugh it off as a very clever joke. Bettv wouldn't have it that way, however, and sbe took tbe men down to tbe sbore and demonstrated bow tbe fish had been caught witb ber bare bands. The bass, wben quite close to shore, had caught a large eunfish for its luncheon. Tbe auofisb was too large for the bass' tbroat and it stuck tbere. This evidently choked the bass, and it quickly reappear on tbe surface for fresh air. As it did so Betty grabbed it. The moral of this piscatorial episode is self-evident: If tbe bas* had not misjudged the size of tbe suofisb it would still be a happy inhabitant of Christina lake. London Mail. That may be true. But are tbey delic cy enough to justify the extermination of one of the most beatiful and valuable of British birds? Valuable, because tbe favorite food of the plover is tbe water enail, and tbe water snail i~ the host of the liver fluke, tbe para-' sitic worm which is the cause of liver rot in sbeep. Liver rot is a horrible disease. Tbe poor animal suffers bonibly before it dies, and tbe deatb roll ot sheep from liver rot is estimated at a mils, lion a year io Great Britain alone. It makes aoy animal lover hot to think that just for tbe sake of tickling the palates of greedy folks this suffering and loss sbould be in. creased.

Vancouver, August 3. Perhaps the outstanding speech upon the vital question of western Canadian unity was that delivered to a crowd which overflowed the huge ballroom of the Vancouver hotel last week by Hon. Charles A. Dunning, minister of railways in the late Liberal government of Canada. If there were any doubters in the attentive audience as to the great need for the western provinces tn stand firmly behind the progressive, low tariff policy of Hon. Mackenzie King, they were converted, and throughout the week the chief topic of discussio has been Hon. Mr. Dunning's speech. The former Saskatchewan premier roused his audience to cheers when be proved that the lowering of the duty on automobiles had not only saved the people of Canada millions of dollars, but had resulted in the largest manufactnrers of automobiles in Canada pr • ducing more motor cars in the first alf *-f 1926 than during all of 1925. The same applied to farm machinery, he, declared. He contended that reasonably lowered tariff alone spelled prosperity for the entire Dominion. Hon. Mr. Dunning deeply regretted the fact that the "autocratic" attitude of Hon. Mr. Meighen had caused the death of v ry impor tant legislation, statutes that only required the approval of the governor general to make them law. Sevejal which he enumerated had passed both houses, but remained inoperative. This applied chiefly, he explained, to old age pensions. Due to the action of the Conservatives, the bill was killed in the senate, and meanwhile needy old people of Canada were denied the blessing which were their due Penticton, B.C., August 4—No clues have so far been'found to tbe murderer of William Hunt, 60 years of age, who was found dead near tbe roundhouse of tbe Kettle Valley railway at South PeDtioton on Saturday. He had be6n shot tbrough tbe head, robbery being the motive. Hunt had been employed for the last few days at tbe fires in the Penticton district aod wbb known to bave been in possession of some forestry meney. The murder was particularly brutal, in tbat the man had been shot while lying asleep in a small depression running down to tbe river Cheok on Oratory At a recent conference a novel plan was adopted for restricting the length of speeches according to their interest. Rach of the delegates was armed with a large card, red on one side, white oo the otber. After eacb speech had beeo going for some minntes delegates would begin to bolJ up their cards, red side toward the chairman. This was a sign that tbey were bored with the speech. Others wbo wished to bear more would turn tbe white side toward tbe chairman, who was thus able to see at a glance whether the audience wanted tbe speech to continue or not. Wben the number of red cards exceeded the number of white cards he would tactfully intimate o tbe speaker tbat time was up. FROM EVERYWHERE "There is no chance of another general strike in Great Britain for a generation and perhaps longer," is the view of Victor Suhr, news editor of thc Evening News, London, who spent a short vacation ia Canada recently. He thought the miners' strike in Great Britain would not be settled before the fall and perhaps not until the winter. eral party would never cease its efforts until old age pensions were in operation. A system of rural credits was worked ont, continued Hon. Mr. Dunning, a method of financing which would have spelled relief and great benefit to the farmers. Tnis, too, had been killed by the Tory opposition. The speaker urged, begged, British Columbia to stand shoulder to shoulder with the prairie provinces, claiming that every dollar earned by the formers meant profit to tha producers of lumber, minerals, fruit nnd fish in tbis province. Hon. Mr. Dunning declared that the Liberals of Canada were loyal to the British crown in a most marked manner, and the aim ofthe party was to build Canada to the point where she was the most important dominion in the empire. Canadians were loyal, he declared, because they loved to be loyal and not because some one compelled them to be. He maintained that tbe high-handed, autocratic attitude of Premier Meighen was utterly distasteful to the people of Ua; ada—a free1 people within the empire, who did not want and would not have a Mussolini, a dictator, ruling them. Upon the conclusion of his eloquent speech the Budience cheered the speaker for several minutes. Hon. J. H.

Tbe rate will be til from Victoria to Edmonton and Calgary and bait a cent per mile from those places to poiots of destination.

Unfailing Method of Judging Age of Eggs By holding ao egg between the eye and a 50-candlepower metal filament lamp, or a similar light, it is possible to tell its age to within twelve hours. A newly laid egg, less thao an bour old, appears uniformly trans-, parent, except for a few dark spots here and there due to inequalities in the shell. Twelve hours afterwards, however, lighter patches appearand tbe egg looks more or less blotchy near the ''ends" (tbe "top" aid "bottom"). These patches ate more or less blurred in outline- As time goes on tbey increase io definition and numbers and are more easily seen from 24 hours of age onward. Recent research shows tbese patches to be due to hydro- scopicity, or affinity for water, of certain parts of the shell. Water is absorbed and transparent patchs are formed. Otber parts of theshel1, on the otber hand, lose wafer by evaporation, and so become more opaque. Tbe forma ion of tbe blotches is prevented by keeping tbe eggs in an atmosphere saturated with moisture.

One part of the speech which Hon. Charles Dunning delivered in Vanconver on Monday has caused quite a stir among old country people in various parts of the province. The former minister of railways in the government of Hon. Mackenz e King, who is a native of Leicester, England, startled his audience by reminding them that nader a clause whieh the gov rnment of Mr. Arthur Meighen wrote into the criminal code in 1919, any old countryman could be deported to his native land without a trial. It simply meant, Mr. Dunning explained, that old couutry people were discriminated against, since the native born could not be treated in a similar manner because there was nowhere to deport them to. In other words, an immigration agent aud tbe minister of immigration could constitute themselves a judge and jury under the law and deliver their verdict without interfejence. This condition prompted Mr. Dunning to point out that Canada should be for all Cana dians and not for some. Incidentally and in spite of Conservative opposition, on no less tban four occasions the government of Mr. Mackenzie King succeeded in getting tbe house of commons to sanction the removal of this provision. But on four occasions the Con servative majority in the senate threw out the measure and the code still discriminates to this extent, Itis understood ihat Canadian s in Bruish Columbia from the old country who, while law-abiding and first class citizens, object to tbeun-British nature of this clause and are planning some sort of action to prsjss fof its removal as soon as tbe next parliament meets. Two Arabians were visiting oa a farm and hey sat under a high apple tree. One of them w«s complimenting the Creator on His wisdom and the other was criticizing the Almighty because he thought that God did not create things in a balanced manner. And so he said to his friend to convince him of his side of the argument; "Look up here at this large and higb apple tree and it only produces a smnll fruit and over there is a tiny water melon seed wbich produces a large fruit that weighs ten or twenty pounds. Now I should think if things are created in a just, equal and harmonious manner then the big tret.-, will produce a large fruit and a small seed or plant will produce a small fruit, but instead it is the reverse and things are unbalanced in the hu man family, in tbe animal family and the vegetable family as well." While he was talking thus an apple fell ftom the high tree and hit him on his nose. He realiz d his mistake immediately and with eyes raised upward he said: "I thank God that i was an apple and not a watermelon, which might have smashed my nose." While the discovery of Nova Scotia is credited to Cabot, on whose reports in 1497 were based tbe English claim of right of pos session of the continent, occoiding to well founded data tho credit for its discove y should properly be to that hardy band of Norse mariners who, under the leadership of Eric the Red, visited Cape Sable islaud in 994, fully 500 years before Cabot's visit, says the Halifax Manning Chronicle. It is not thought, however, that the Norsiuen explored the mainland to any extent, if at all. Another bit of "South sea romance" has succumbed to the onward warch of modernity.

The train covers the 2.83G miles of Its run between the two cities in 90 hours and ita Toronto-Vancouver run of 2,7/97 miles In 86 hours. Mr. C. B. Foster, Passenger Traffic Manager, summing up the season's performance, gave out some remarkably interesting figures which afford a partial Insight into the magnitude ot the task of maintaining such a service. The Trans-Canada Limited began its runs this year on May 18th, and before being discontinued made 119 trips in each direction, or 238 ln all. The equipment, of the train ls limited to one baggage, one dining rar, four standard sleepers, one lO-conipartment car Vancouver to Montreal, and one 10-compartment car Toronto to Winnipeg, with a drawing room-3-compartment observation sleeper Montreal to Vancouver, plus a local sleeper on the west-bound movoment only from Fort William to Winnipeg. Thus tie maximum accommodation available ln each direction between the East and Winnipeg is forty-eight i-.ectlons, twenty-three compartments and five drawing rooms, while between Winnipeg and tho Coast there Are forty-eight sections, thirteen compartments and five drawing rooms. The average number of passengers on tho train at night varies from seventy-five to 110 on different sections of the line, but for the 119 days tbe train was In service last season there was a one-night use of approximately 100,000 berths. The east-bound und west-bound trains together covered 6,292 miles every day, which Includes the distance between Montreal and Vancouver, 2,886 miles, and between Toronto and Sudbury, 2C0 miles, covered by each train and its Toronto-Sudbury connection. Thus the season's mileage was 758,748 for the 238 trips, or three times the distance from the earth to the moon. Bach day four Trans-Canada trains were in motion over the Company's lines in each direction. At 8 A.M. each day, one was west-bound between Cartler and Chaplcau, ono between Kenora and Winnipeg, one between Medicine Hat and Calgary, and one between North Bend and Vancouver, while at that hour one east-bound was approaching Glacier, one approaching Regina, one east of Fort William and one between Chalk River and Ottawa. Ten complete sets of equipment, of which four were in motion each woy every day and one was being cleaned, refitted and turned round at each end of the run, were required to maintain the service. DO YOU WANT THE PEOPLE TO READ YOUR ADVERTISEMENT Powerful lecomotlvea changed forty- eJBht rJnatM dally la tbe movement of the Tranav- Cnnssda tralna and tea seta of equipment are ia constant operas-Jon. The year's schedule called for 22 changes of engine on every Trans- Canada run from Montreal to Vancouver and two engines for the Toronto-Sudbury connection made by each train. There were 48 engine inns daily for the service. Including these engine-stops, the trains made only 26 stops on their whole run. It is on thiB steady movement at a uniform speed over long distances and not on high speed that the trains maintained their fast schedules over the transcontinental journey and the elimination of all but essential stops resulted in the smooth running for which It is noted. Owing to the necessity of changing trains crews on such a long run, about 14 crews, or about 84 men, were required for one trip on each train, while 48 sleeping and dining-car employees were required for each trip on one train or nearly 400 men for this branch of the Trans-Canada service.

Another step forward in the effort to restore to Montreal its leading position in the live stock industry was taken recently when members of the Eastern Cattle Market Exchange met to reorganize their operations on the basis of new changes made calculated to improve Montreal's standing in the industry. Duke Dmitri, of Leuclitenberg, Count de Beauharnois, lineal descendant of Charles, Marquis de Beauharnois, who governed Canada in the name of the French King Louis XV. between 1726 and 1747, is visiting for the first time the country in which his ancestor made history. He is taking part in the Grand Pow-Pow of the Canadian Trail Riders which is being held in Ptarmigan Valley, near Lake Louis, In the Canadian Rockies. The English football team have finiahed their seven weeks' tour of the Dominion and they were greatly impressed with the generous hospitality tendered to them by the people in the cities they visited. Joe Smith, captain of the team, said: "Canadian football will, in a few years, in all probability be on a par with the brand of soccer played by the major leagues in Great Britain." According to him the object of the tour has been fully accomplished. Ooming from all parts of Great Britain and Ireland twenty-five thoroughbreds were unloaded from the Canadian Pacific liner Metagama when it arrived in Montreal lately. They are for Mulan's breeding and braining ranch near Winnipeg, and comprise one stallion, 16 mares and eight geldings. Nellie's Pet, 8-year-old, by Cygnus (Sire of winner of Scottish Derby last year) out of La Lie; and Den tan, two- year-old, who comes of the same breeding as Coronach, winner of this year's English Derby, were among the horses arriving. Captain Kilroy Harris, lecturer and radio talker in the United States on Australia and New Zealand, recently passed through Montreal on his way to the west where he will take part in the Trail Rides in the Canadian Rookies. He is already possessor of a silver medal for having completed 100 miles of trail rides and hopes this year to earn the gold medal that testifies to the completion of 500 miles riding trails in that district. Capt. Harris is gathering material from Canadian sources for his lectures and radio balks. Reports from the Banff Springs Hotel and from agents along the line of bhe Canadian Pacific Railway from Banff to bhe Pacific Coast 'received at C.P.R. headquarters, state that the forest fires in the Kootenay Park region at their near- est point are eighty miles distant from the hotel, and that they are noVhere near any of the tracks of the railway. Guests at the hotel and travellers on bhe railroad have been in no way incommoded by the fires and these are now stated to be well wibMn sight of control. Banff Springs Hotel is at the present time enjoying tiie busiest season in its history.

Preclinical research suggests the oncoprotein EVI1 can promote leukemogenesis by suppressing erythropoiesis and lymphopoiesis while shifting differentiation toward the expansion of myeloid cells.
Researchers developed a new mouse model that mimics chromosomal rearrangements at 3q26, which are associated with poor-prognosis acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Using the mouse model, the team demonstrated that EVI1 overexpression distorts hematopoiesis and markedly expands premalignant myelopoiesis that eventually results in leukemic transformation.
Archibald Perkins, MD, PhD, of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, and his colleagues published these findings in Nature Communications.
The team demonstrated that the "myeloid-skewed phenotype" is dependent upon EVI1-binding DNA. This upregulates Spi1 and encodes the master myeloid regulator PU.1.
When the researchers knocked down Spi1, the myeloid skewing diminished.
"It's not so pie-in-the-sky anymore," Dr. Perkins said, "to think we can interrupt the process within the genome that leads to leukemia."
The researchers first created a mouse model of 3q26 AML with a tetracycline-inducible allele of EVI1 by inserting tetracycline operons within the first exon. This allowed the induction of all three isoforms of EVI1.
These mice were viable and fertile but had no phenotype, which indicated that the allele functioned normally unless induced.
To assess the effect of EVI1 overexpression, the researchers transplanted oncogene-expressing bone marrow mixed 1:1 with wild-type bone marrow into recipient mice.
After confirming successful engraftment, the researchers fed the mice doxycycline-treated food to induce EVI1. The team analyzed cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow at 10 weeks post-induction.
The researchers observed a more than two-fold expansion of the EVI1-overexpressing compartment in the mouse model.
Suppression of erythropoiesis
The researchers analyzed erythroid lineage in the transplanted mice at 2, 6, and 10 weeks post-induction and found the EVI1-overexpressing cells did not contribute effectively to erythropoiesis.
Using flow cytometry, the researchers quantitated apoptosis and proliferation in erythroid progenitors. They observed a six-fold increase in apoptosis within the erythroblasts compared to wild-type cells.
They also observed a drop in the proliferation of proerythroblasts and erythroblasts compared to wild-type.
Suppression of lymphopoiesis
The researchers observed significantly lower numbers of EVI1-overexpressing B-lineage cells within the bone marrow at 6 and 10 weeks.
And at 10 weeks post-induction, the team observed a decrease in peripheral T cells from approximately 1,800 cells/µL to approximately 750 cells/µL.
EVI1 nearly eliminated the peripheral B cells completely, they noted.
Expansion of myelopoiesis
The team reported that, at 2 weeks post-induction, the EVI1-overexpressing bone marrow and control bone marrow showed the same number of myeloid cells.
But at 6 and 10 weeks post-induction, the EVI1-overexpressing myeloid compartment expanded markedly.
The researchers aged a cohort of five mice transplanted with the 1:1 mix of wild-type and EVI1 bone marrow cells to determine if chronic overexpression of EVI1 results in leukemia.
All five mice died at 90 to 119 days of doxycycline treatment. Analysis revealed AML in all mice. Bone marrows were replete with blasts, and the peripheral blood revealed severe anemia.
The researchers then proceeded to establish the relationship between EVI1 and Spi1/PU.1 transcriptional regulation.
They documented binding of EVI1 to the regulatory element -14kbURE, which, together with EVI1., induced upregulation of PU.1.
When the team knocked down PU.1, myeloid skewing diminished. This, they say, indicates PU.1 is necessary for EVI1-induced myeloid expansion.
Funding for this research was provided by the National Institutes of Health, New York State Stem Cell Science, the Wilmot Cancer Institute, and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Rochester.
The authors had no competing interests to disclose.

Are You Thinking About Selling Your Home?
Late spring and early summer is the best time to sell your home and if you are considering putting your home on the market you'll likely have to consider a home inspection.
Is Your Home as Safe as You Think?
It's June and that means it is National Safety Month.
Spring Cleaning Your Air Ducts
While you're in the spring cleaning mode, it's important not to forget to check your air ducts and air filters too!
Wet Carpets? Call in the Air Power.
All month we've been talking about April showers and the damage water can cause when it gets inside your home or business. However, our focus has been on basements and businesses, places that often have concrete floors.
April Showers Bring May Flowers . . . and wet basements (Strategies to Keep Your Basement Dry)
It's a given, April is a wet month. Whether it brings spring showers or like this year, snowmelt, moisture is everywhere.

The Witcher 3: What Geralt Wants
Inferno313 replied to Mington's topic in Video GamingYeah, I'm not sure what your problem might be. I'm on a 970 and have everything on Ultra except for Foliage Distance (High) and Hairworks (Off). It seems like Hairworks is the biggest drain though, maybe check that you don't have that on? Even on "Geralt Only" it took 10-15 frames off. Overall, I'm in love with this game. I was a big fan of the first two, but this is just some next level stuff. I'm even loving the combat, which I know some people have had issues with. I'm playing on Blood and Broken Bones, and aside from the opening hour or so when I was relying on food for health and had no oils yet, It's been great. It really forces me to use all the tools I have available to me. Stumbling on a nest of Ghouls isn't just a situation I can run in and clear out easily. I'll camp out on the outskirts, pull up my bestiary and see what they're weak to, then I'll set up my potions and oils accordingly, and have to be really strategic in how I handle the encounter. Loads of fun!
Kojima to leave Konami after MGS V
Inferno313 replied to kaputt's topic in Video GamingThey're working on MGSV. Specifically the multiplayer "MGS Online." Yeah, this sounds pretty real. Konami has even gone as far as removing the "A Hideo Kojima Game" from not just the MGS V Boxart on the site, but also the Ground Zeroes art and the MGS Legacy Collection art.
Nintendo announces mobile deal with DeNA
Inferno313 replied to BigJKO's topic in Video GamingThis is good news, in my opinion! Grows Nintendo brand awareness amongst the masses, and an additional revenue stream for them. Most of the Nintendo games that I'd most want to play on a phone probably won't happen for quite a while due to being more B or C level franchises, but the games that would make the most sense are their puzzle games. I would play the crap out of Picross, Puzzle League, and Dr. Mario on iPhone.
Nintendo 3DS
Inferno313 replied to Kolzig's topic in Video GamingNot only that, but that series relies on remakes a lot that I'm sure they don't want to compete with themselves if the old games are easily available. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if we get another Gen 1 remake sometime soon. The 20th anniversary of Pokemon is coming up after all. I got my New 3DS XL over the weekend, and I've just been having a huge 3DS renaissance. Majora's Mask 3D and Omega Ruby are what I'm currently playing through, and I'm having a blast. The New 3DS XL's face-tracking 3D works shockingly well. Despite being a fan of the 3D previously, I was always among the opinion that Nintendo's next handheld would probably abandon 3D, and I'd be fine with that. Now that I've seen the glory of their "Super-Stable 3D" I really hope they keep this tech in all future handhelds. It's one of the best implementations of stereoscopic 3D I've seen, in any medium. The C-stick nub is also awesome. Probably not enough fidelity to be a suitable right stick for hardcore shooters, but great to have for things like camera control.
Inferno313 replied to Roderick's topic in Idle BanterThat's unfortunate. I'm a big Daily Show fan, and Wilmore seemed cool when he was on Marc Maron's podcast but the only episode I saw of The Nightly Show was the "Black Women are Bossy" episode, and it didn't leave a good impression.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Inferno313 replied to tegan's topic in Video GamingFinally got this, this past week. Even though I don't have as much nostalgia for Ruby and Sapphire as I do for Gen 1 and 2, I'm having a blast. I'd even say I'm enjoying this game more than X and Y. I'm still only two badges in, so it'll be a while before I'm back in here talking EVs and Shinies with you guys, but so far it's just great being back in the Pokemon world. I think part of what's making it so fun is that I bought my girlfriend Alpha Sapphire too. She grew up with the cards and anime but never got into the games. She's a pretty casual gamer (Animal Crossing and The Sims are her jams) she's getting SUPER into it, she's farther than me in fact. Right now we're trading off on the same 3DS, but I'm getting a "New 3DS XL" on Friday and letting her take my current one. Can't wait for that, then we'll be able to battle and trade each other!
Recently completed video games
Inferno313 replied to gdf's topic in Video GamingFinally finished Dragon Age Inquisition over the weekend. Overall, it's a good game that I felt got a little too much praise due to releasing in a slow year. I had a fun time playing it, but by the end was ready for it to just end already. I haven't played all that many Bioware games (The Mass Effect Trilogy, Kotor, and some of DA: Origins) and this ranks towards the bottom for me. It felt like Bioware wanted to implement some of the stuff that people loved about Skyrim into Dragon Age, but didn't want to fully commit to making an open-world RPG and leaving many of the game's elements half-assed. The "open-world" is too sectioned off and full of meaningless "collect all the things" quest to be truly engrossing, although finding and fighting dragon's was pretty freaking fun the first few times. While the main missions seem lacking in terms of length, mission design, and writing compared to past Bioware games. Even the cast of characters, which is always one of the best things about a Bioware game, didn't leave a big impression on me. A few of them are great like Iron Bull and Dorian, but a lot of them just aren't that interesting compared to the Normandy Crew or the party in Kotor. I can tell lots of people loved this game, but it just didn't completely land for me. Here's hoping The Witcher 3, which is part of a series I'm much more invested in, can satisfy my RPG needs.
Star Wars VII - Open spoilers
Inferno313 replied to Mington's topic in Movies & TelevisionWhile I'm guessing you're probably right in that that is likely what's going to happen, having re-writes by different writers isn't bad. Heck, Empire Strikes Back went through the most re-writes of any of the Star Wars films.
The terrible wallet scourge of the Amiibo.
Inferno313 replied to Sno's topic in Video GamingThe plan is to do every Smash character, so I imagine it's on it's way. Managed to get to a Target at opening on Sunday and get a Rosalina. Also have Toon Link coming from Amazon soon. My collection now consists of Link, Toon Link, Rosalina, Captain Falcon, Samus, and Zelda.
Some heartless jackass makes a fake Majora's Mask HD trailer because he hates me, specifically
Inferno313 replied to Udvarnoky's topic in Video GamingI would agree. It's one of the few titles in the series that is a direct sequel, so I think ideally it should be enjoyed after OOT. Not so much in the sense that the plot carries over, but Majora's Mask is one of the most surreal Zelda games, and a big part if it's surrealness comes from the fact that it reappropriates a ton of assets and characters from Ocarina, but twists them in slight ways. If you don't have the context of who all these people were in OOT, that element of the game will be lost on you.
Inferno313 replied to Bjorn's topic in Video GamingThat sounds great! I need a good multiplayer server to play on! Those of you that play, I'm Inferno313 on Steam. I played maybe 10 hours of this or so when it first came out but put it off until it's more feature complete. Now seems like a good time to get back into it.
Nobody expects the Dragon Age Inquisition
Inferno313 replied to Mington's topic in Video GamingI'm enjoying this game quite a bit, but it's not reaching the heights that other Bioware games have for me. I feel like Bioware is dipping their toes into the water of making something more open-world like a Skyrim, but that leaves them with a semi-open world that's too segmented and full of fetch quests, and a main storyline that feels diluted compared to their previous games. I'm 45 hours into it at this point, I'm level 17, completely cleared out a few areas, killed 3 of the dragons, and have about 5 hours left in the main story from what I've heard and I'm kind of ready to just finish it up. I think part of it is just that I don't find the world of Dragon Age all that interesting compared to a series like The Witcher, or even compared to other Bioware games like Mass Effect. I have honestly really enjoyed my time with it, but I feel like it's lacking compared to other recent RPGs.
Nintendo Network ID Exchange Thread
Inferno313 replied to Don Jon's topic in Multiplayer NetworkingHey guys, I'm a huge Nintendo fan. I'd definitely be down to add everyone here. I play a lot of Smash and Mario Kart, and I'm starting Bayonetta 2, so I'd be up for trying that game's co-op mode too. My NNID: Inferno313.
Idle Thumbs 195: Business Guys On Planes
Inferno313 replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & StreamsGreat podcast! You guys have sold me on getting Grim Fandango Remastered, I missed the hey-day of PC adventure games (both due to being too young, and being primarily a Nintendo kid.) so it's going to be totally new for me. Danielle's comments about Majora's Mask have me so excited for that game too. I'm a huge Zelda fan but somehow Majora is one of the like 4 games in the series I've never finished. I'm really amped to cross that one off the list, since Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda and I generally find Zelda fans are either way into MM and WW or way into OOT and TP.
wii-U or Xbox one, for my um 5 year old
Inferno313 replied to Guts's topic in Video GamingI'd vote WiiU as well. The biggest kid friendly games on Xbox are, like you said, Lego, Minecraft, and Kinect games. Lego games are on everything ever, you can get them for her on your PC or on the WiiU (One of the few Third-Party series that regularly supports WiiU), Minecraft has a superior version you can get for her on PC, or if you have a tablet she can play the pocket edition. The WiiU probably has less dancing games than Xbox, but it does have Just Dance which is one of the most popular ones. Meanwhile you're getting some of the best local multiplayer experiences around on WiiU. Not only does the WiiU have the most kid-friendly exclusives, but it also has the best local multi-player exclusives. Getting the whole family together for Mario Kart, Smash, Nintendoland, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Party 10, Kirby's Rainbow Curse, etc will be a lot of fun. Nintendo has, as of late, been VERY strong about getting local co-op into nearly everything on WiiU. The only major first-party WiiU games I can think of that don't have some kind of co-op or local multiplayer are Wind Waker HD and Bayonetta 2 (Which probably isn't something she's ready for anyways). Everything from Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze to Pikmin 3 to New Super Mario Bros U. has support for at least 2 players. With that in mind, it's very strong as a "family" console. EDIT: Regarding your question about older Wii Games... Yes, the WiiU is fully backwards compatible with original Wii games. You'll need to buy some Wii Remotes and Nunchuks though. In addition, you can buy downloadable copies of NES, SNES, and GBA games. So you can introduce her to some of the Super Nintendo games you played.

Bobby Ryan's first career hat trick was the topic of conversation following Thursday night's 4-3 loss to the Kings at Staples Center.
Everyone was in agreement that his third goal, the one that tied the score at 1:35 of the third period, was by far the prettiest.
Ryan put a move on Kings defenseman Peter Harrold, left goalie Jonathan Quick on the seat of his pants and scored into a self-created empty net.
"I went into it kind of blind," Ryan said of his third goal of the game. "I think he (Harrold) over-gapped up a little bit and I was able to come out of it."
You can check it out here, as described by Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Miller.

Margaret Anne (Nan) Griffiths was Professor Emeritus in Architecture. Nan joined Carleton in the mid-70s and taught for 22 years in the school of architecture. For many of those years, she was the sole full-time female faculty member, and served as an exceptional mentor to women students. Her intellectual legacy is broad, but perhaps most significant in the area of urban design. Nan's intrepid spirit informed her entire life.
As a girl she was an excellent athlete and one of the first women to brave the high ski jump at Camp Fortune. She pursued a passion for art at the Chelsea School of Art in London, tried her hand at Lepidoptary, mapmaking, and was the accountant at the Canadian Embassy in Copenhagen, all before attending London's Regent Street Polytechnic school of architecture. She graduated in 1965 while carrying her first child. After some heady years working in swinging London, the family moved back to Ottawa, where she worked as an architect and became head of Design Services of the newly formed Urban Design Branch of Public Works Canada. By poetic invitation, she then joined the faculty of Carleton University's School of Architecture, where she taught for 22 years.
In the mid-70s, Nan was invited by the National Capital Commission to co-ordinate the first national conference on Women in the Urban Environment. As a passionate advocate for art and urban design, she served on many Canada Council juries, participated in conferences, international and regional urban and architectural charettes, collaborated on diverse design competitions, and wrote influential essays and articles on urban space. In 1993 Nan co-directed a group of students to design and build a Canadian D-Day war memorial in Caen, Normandy.
Nan was passionately involved in her community on many levels. She was a founding member of the Centretown Citizens Community Association, and served on the City of Ottawa Planning Committee, Heritage Committee, LACAC, the Public Art Committee and the Cultural Leadership Committee. She was Executive Director of the Board of the Ottawa Art Gallery and a member of the City of Ottawa Arts and Heritage Advisory Committee. Nan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada in 2004. Upon retiring, she revived her early interest in visual art. She was an excellent pastoralist and her life drawings with watercolour accents were outstanding. She leaves a strong body of work and a large collection of sketchbooks and slides, which form a wonderful visual legacy of her tremendous talent. Nan was a strong, stylish, warm and infectiously enthusiastic woman of her times.
Gifts to the Margaret Anne (Nan) Griffiths Memorial Fund will support the establishment of a seminar room in Nan's honour located inside the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism.

By DL Banks
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
I am convinced that all the energy and good intentions in the world cannot trump cultural disconnects. To be effective, we have to ask questions of and listen to the people affected by what we want to do. Then we must engage them early in our planning and keep adjusting our approaches. To be effective in fulfilling your goals, you must break them down into little tasks and then spend most of your time working on the task in front of you, instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of the big goal. Let your personality be your profit and not your punishment.
It's about teamwork, realizing we are on the same side and complementing each other. The family is at its best when exposed to and engaged in high-quality environments, interactions, and relationships. This is not technological or economic quality it is leadership and effectiveness quality. Children mature best when the adults in their life work in partnership with one another. There must exist important aligning of mission, beliefs, values and behaviours within the family unit. A better model of leadership means more effective leadership and better business results.
Organizational effectiveness does not lie in that narrow minded concept called rationality. It lies in the blend of clearheaded logic and powerful intuition. Be persistent, be persistent, they say. But please, do not mistake being a pest for being persistent. If we can recognize what makes us unique and how we can positively impact our students, then we can make teaching much more meaningful and learning much more rewarding essentially, a transformative experience for the masses. Speaking a painful truth should be done only in love like wielding a sword with no hilt it should pain oneself in direct proportion to the amount of force exerted.
A leadership comfort zone brings stagnancy, deprives one of innovation, stifles growth and frustrates both the leader and the team they lead. Your personal preferences like leadership style, communication style, prejudices, habits and mannerisms must be effectively managed so that they do not work against you. You have to be careful that your strengths do not end up becoming a hindering comfort zone. Seek to lead, driven by a cause. In order to be effective, be responsive. In order to be responsive, listen. Don't worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.
Alignment of vision, mission, values and attitudes need to be matched between you and those you choose to surround yourself with. The cost of training or replacing will be very minimal and less painful if recruitment, selection and positioning are done well. You choose the leaders and place them strategically around the table of your vision and mission. They are already around you because of some degree of loyalty, so if you continue putting 60% effort in enhancing loyalty that already exists, you will end up going into overkill and igniting a toxic level of internal office politics that was not originally existent in your organization. It is the challenge for every leader to develop and invest in those he depends on, to ensure his or her vision is realized in the way it has been put upon the leader's heart. These key people will enhance the success or taint the leadership image and brand of the visionary.
The importance of cultivating assumption of the best intentions in others cannot be over-estimated. Fostering this principal of, "goodness of intent," and committing to seeing others and the world through this lens makes for a successful, happy field of vision. This enables us to put our focus and energy to positive, productive outcomes. It lends to a spirit of cooperation and encouragement which is highly effective and satisfying for most people most of the time. That being said, these "rose colored glasses," as vibrant and pleasing as they are, must not become an excuse to look the other way when something needs a different focus, or fixed. We must not let them become blinders which are obviously ineffective, often negative, and occasionally dangerous.
Consider your will to be the vision of your influence on earth after you cease to be a part of it. Crafting a lasting legacy means you start planning and making it possible now. Collective leadership effectiveness drives business performance. Be effective not just efficient. Do right things not just things right.
A leader must produce other leaders. Why do you want to produce followers, when by being called a leader the assumption is that you already have followers? Influence those who follow to birth their kind and develop others to lead. If in this generation, you still consider yourself the only one who knows or who has the capacity to make a difference, it's a shame because you are delaying this leadership excellence train from reaching its destination. Make a decision to change your leadership philosophy and agenda today. If you have to say or do something controversial, aim so that people will hate that they love it and not love that they hate it.
I'm not in the redemption business.

Reading Fanatic ReviewsAll Paranormal Mystery Reviews
Stalking the Dead by E. C. Bell
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Thalia, Smashwords, Mondadori, Angus & Robertson, and Bol.de
Stalking the Dead*
Still Not Vibin'
I love a good paranormal mystery, so I was intrigued when three books by this author showed up on my favorite book review site. Unfortunately, I have just never been able to get into them, and I have given this author three tries now. (I do always give authors two or three chances before I give up.) I love that Marie has the ability to communicate with spirits who have not yet moved on and uses that to figure out their murders (if that is the case). But something in the writing style always turns me off in these books. For one thing, the dialogue doesn't feel quite natural to me, and in places, there is a lot of conversation. I am almost always put off, too, by the level of profanity in the books, usually said or thought by the ghosts. Cursing is just a significant turnoff for me in any book unless it is used for characterization. The mystery in this particular book actually did have some interest as it tied in different aspects of Marie's present and past. But, again, because of the writing issues above and others that I have not detailed, I still couldn't get into this book.
Movies, Moonlight, and Magic by January Bain

Movies, Moonlight, and Magic*
Heavy on the Cozy, Light on the Mystery
This is the second book in the Manitoba Tea and Tarot series, and the second book that I have read in it. I will admit that I love the concept of this series because tea and tarot are two of my favorite things! I would love to frequent that little shop. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, so I was looking forward to the next. The series revolves around three sisters who have magical powers, each different. Charm, the heroine in this book, is only just coming to understand and work with what she can do. She has an interest in the new Mountie, but a gorgeous friend of his family has shown up, making Charm a little jealous. A film crew comes to town, and their accountant turns up dead. Other issues come up as well, and someone close to Charm is one of the suspects, leading her to want to investigate to clear their name.
As in the first book, the characters and the relationships between them are a delight. The paranormal aspect is fun. Unfortunately, as can happen in cozy mysteries, the mysteries themselves seemed to take a back seat to the quirky characterization and magical worldbuilding. For instance, the dead body wasn't found until about the 21% mark. As that is the inciting incident for a murder mystery, not a lot of room was left for the mystery to be fully explored. This is already a short book, so not much space is given to the mystery. The other "mystery" shows up quite a bit later. All in all, I like the world and the characters that the author has created; I just wish that the mystery itself was more emphasized.
Magic and Mystery Box Set by Lily Webb
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Google Play, Mondadori, and Angus & Robertson
Magic and Mystery Box Set*
The First Books of the Series
I was a latecomer to the Magic and Mystery series, so I was delighted to be able to pick up the first three books in the series as a single box set. Zoe is a witch who has only just coming to realize the extent of her powers, and I liked watching her evolution. It is sure a bumpy ride for her. I enjoyed seeing, too, more of the backstory and interactions between her and the other characters. These books are relatively light and are easy reads. The author does a good job setting up a paranormal world, make it seem completely logical that magic is an everyday happenstance because, in the world of the books, it is. So the author has managed to make the paranormal aspect seem integral and not fantastical, which I don't think is always an easy thing to do. Well balanced, nice set of books.
Seeing the Light by E. C. Bell
Seeing the Light*
Book Falls Short
I generally enjoy mysteries and books that have anything to do with the paranormal or supernatural, so I thought that this book would be a natural fit for me. However, this particular novel didn't work for me. I'm having a hard time pulling together my thoughts about it. Several things just didn't ring right with me, but I'm having a hard time putting my finger on precisely what I'm not liking here. One of the things I can say for sure is that I didn't like the profanity in the book; I just don't think profanity is necessary except to show character and only in very limited places (genres). I felt like the characterization was weak for all the major players in the book. Marie, a viewpoint character, could have been interesting given all that she had to deal with but she was just lacking in too many ways; I didn't feel like her head was an interesting place to be in. The main viewpoint character has to have solid characterization to be believable, relatable, and someone that we want to follow, and that just wasn't here for me. I also felt like the mystery element of the story was barely there; for a book called a mystery, there needs to be more mystery! Like the other characters, I didn't find the villains particularly well drawn either. I understand that this is the author's first book, and perhaps she will improve the more she practices writing.
Mummy Issues by Paula Lester
Mummy Issues*
Not Easy to Keep Mum
I have read every book in this series about Zoey and the zany characters at the paranormal retirement community where she works. Something in Zoey's past is coming back to haunt her, literally and figuratively! I absolutely love the way this series mixes Zoey's life with those of her residents. The community members add such color. In this book, Zoey is facing parental issues. Her crew with her retirement community has her back, but oh, my! I love that the magical aspect of these books is written with such humor. If you've read and enjoyed the other books in this series, you will thoroughly enjoy this latest addition.
Witch Myth Christmas by Alexandria Clarke
Witch Myth Christmas*
Paranormal Christmas a la Groundhog Day… Plus!
The first part of this book feels like a paranormal holiday version of Groundhog Day. Christmas day keeps repeating over and over with slight variations. Only one person seems to be aware of the time slip. I quite enjoyed this author's writing style. She uses active verbs and deep point of view that makes you feel like you are living the story along with Noelle as she tries to figure everything out. There is a little bit of an information dump at the beginning, including the rather hackneyed use of a window so that a first-person narrator can describe herself, but this is written better than most, so I can forgive it. I loved following the twists and turns of the story. A fun and engaging read.
A Murder in Hope's Crossing by Brooke Shelby
A Murder in Hope's Crossing*
Didn't Work for Me
I will admit that I am turned off right away when a book starts with an information dump, and this book had quite a lengthy one. I do work with some authors on their books, and I sometimes recommended they just toss out the first chapter or two and get to the story! This book might have benefited from such an action. I thought the dialog sounded stilted, not like the way people talk. As such, I had a hard time getting into and sticking with the story. I didn't really find the characters engaging, and I will be passing on the rest of the series.
The Cursed Key by Miranda Brock and Rebecca Hamilton
Available at Amazon (currently paperback only; eBook Jan. 14, 2020), Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Google Play, Mondadori, Angus & Robertson, and Indigo (Chapters)
The Cursed Key*
Nice Paranormal Aspects; Other Elements Off
I am not quite sure what to make of this book. There are elements of it that I enjoyed, but there were definitely some issues with it. I enjoyed the paranormal aspect and the idea that such a paranormal world existed was unknown to the heroine at the book start, but I didn't feel like the MacGuffin, the key, was explained well enough so that the reader would know why it was so important to everyone. We weren't really given much background about it to understand its significance nor were we told what exactly it did. I thought that the two main characters had grating personalities, which sometimes made them annoying to read about. I also thought the heroine acted unprofessionally and unethically at times. The opening jungle sequence was a good start to the story, but then the pacing slowed down to a crawl when the heroine returned to the United States; luckily, it did pick up again towards the middle of the book. Some of these flaws may be overlooked when you're reading because the author actually has a good writing style. It is engaging, especially in the action parts, and easy to read. But then only when you start thinking about the story do its flaws truly become apparent.
Siren Song Gone Wrong by Lucy May
Siren Song Gone Wrong*
More Slice of Pre Wedding Life Than Mystery
I have read several of the mysteries in this series, and I find them to be humorous and warm paranormal cozies. While I thoroughly enjoyed the book just as a reader, I felt that this installment was a little light on the mystery aspect. It starts a month before the wedding of Liam and Moira. For those of you who are not familiar with the series, Moira is the one from whose perspective we see the stories unfold. To be honest, this felt more like a bit of a slice-of-life moment before the big day. Yes, there was an interesting little side arc about sirens, but I felt like it was more about family dinners and conversations with friends about the upcoming wedding and the couple's future. I did find the theme about destiny to be interesting, which did elevate this story to be somewhat more than just that slice of life just mentioned. I don't want to give anything away, but I think the prologue just should have been the last chapter or two. It wasn't a true prologue. All in all, not the best of this series, but if you've already read other books in it, you will most likely enjoy the run-up the big fated marriage.
Manners and Monsters by Tilly Wallace
Manners and Monsters*
Regency… and Zombies
Mercy, what a completely different read! Think Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies with a little bit of suspense, romance, and gothic and steampunk sensibilities. The women of high-society Britain have suffered from a nasty, zombie-making affliction since the close of the Napoleonic Wars; some nasty Frenchmen created an expensive face powder that made this happen. I liked the heroine; she is a strong and smart woman in an era when that is not appreciated. The hero feels relatively weak in comparison, but he is still a fascinating character to watch. I didn't like the information dump at the start of the book. It's a long enough novel that the author could have started with a nice impactful action scene and dribbled in the backstory of the world little by little. Since this is essentially a zombie novel, at times it gets a little too gory for me. I like the author's writing style, which was at times quite humorous and quite fitting for the type of book. Even though I am not one who particularly enjoys zombie literature or movies, I found this to be a fun read.

Sven Jerring was a famous radio host here in Sweden. Docent Dods first and only attempt into raw and obnoxious Punk Rock. They later became one of Swedens biggest powerpop bands for a long time to come. Joppe the vocalist can now be seen as a TV host on and off. Right now he's hosting a show about cars. Zzzzzz I hate cars and raggare is a bunch of motherfuckers! Anyway, their first 12″ EP is amazing powerpop and must be posted later on. Klockan ett is an extremly long and boring non punk rock song so don't bother asking for it.
