Ka-Do-Ha Indian Village
I saw this Indian village and mounds initially in the 1960s and '70s. Our family moved to Arkansas then. When I viewed the mounds they were intact, with burials of men, women, children, family pets, clothing, pottery, weapons, jewelry, and many other personal items.
Through the years the exposed skeletal remains, and most of the contents of each mound had to be altered to reflect growing public disdain in viewing such. Both sides can be understood; those of the native Americans, and the archeologist.
I felt strongly that I needed to clarify what others had written about this village site. It cannot be what it once was for many reasons. Funding basically came from the donations and admissions to the village by the public.
[Mark Estes, 08/31/2010]A friend and I stopped by here hoping to see an "authentic" Indian village after picking up a flyer in the Arkansas welcome center, but the "1000 year old structures" were basically Home Depot corregated plastic sheets with sticks in front of them! Features excavated Indian burial mounds (with plastic skeletons substituted for the real ones), a plowed field where you can "hunt for arrowheads," a "museum" (small room with glass displays and prerecorded audiotape they turn on after you pay your $4 a head to enter), a gift shop with overpriced toys and souvenirs, and several blind dogs (with a sign asking you to look under your car before pulling out so you don't run one over).

A titman turning 40

Big tit threesome
A Titman Turning Forty.
It was the last game of the NBA finals and it was my 40th birthday.And my wife Barbara, a college english teacher,was off to teach a night class at the local community college.She was a very popular instructor there, legendary really .Her class offering always filled quickly at the start of each semester .Particularly with male students. She was a serious scholar of language, French and Spanish as well as English with an impressive resume' and an extensive knowledge of poetry and world literature as well.
But truth be told it was the the impressive and extensive size of her bust that may have been the biggest source of study in her classes .She was only 5'2" and stacked full with a set of 38 double d' s, Her small stature made the tits look disproportionally large giving her a somehow lascivious lustful look. She always wore sensible skirts and institutional looking plain starched white shirts that bowed out spectacularly in front of her. and big horned rimmed glasses.But trying to look so uniformly prim and proper with a set of knockers her size only had the effect of making her seem all the more wickedly exciting. She had her doctorate in English and so of course the students all called her Dr.Jugs.
She was used to the suggestive stares and the obvious hard ons she inspired in class and aware as well that she defined the wicked, horny, seductive, big tit teacher fantasy replete with the horn rimmed glasses and red lipstick, but she really couldn't help it. No matter how hard she tried to hide it her huge rack and her seeming innocent indifference to the big pair she sported,she just exuded sex.
I was celebrating my big day with some tequila and beer in front of the t v.
"Enjoy your game" she said kissing me goodbye and then heading out the door dressed in her usual teaching attire. "Oh I almost forgot" She said, pulled a brownie with a little candle in it out of her purse and lit the candle.
"Make a wish" She said, I blew out the candle .
"And make sure you eat every bit of that brownie"
She said in a playful scolding way., as she headed back out .I did eat the whole brownie, it had nuts in it, but about halfway through it I could have sworn I swallowed a pill but I was getting a little buzz on so maybe not.
Halfway through the first quarter with a couple shots of tequila in me sipping on a cold one Barb called.
"Oh I'm very sorry David I know it's your birthday but something has come up. The other lit teacher Mr Barnes is in the hospital and the department has hired a substitute on short notice to begin Monday and she is really not prepared. I hope you won't be upset but I've canceled my class and I'm bringing her home with me to go over Mr Barnes' class schedule to help get her ready."
"Oh,O. K." I said
"Oh I knew you'd understand" she said and then."She seems quite nice, I'm sure you'll like them.""What?' I said. "I said I'm sure you'll like her. I'll see you soon"
Ten minutes later Barb was home introducing me to the substitute.
I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't a woman like this.She could have been my wife's twin; She was the same size and they were even wearing the same clothes right down to the Identical button down starched white shirts,and modest skirts, although she didn't wear glasses.I barely noticed anything else about her because I couldn't take my eyes off her magnificently oversized set of tits. She had a monster pair large enough even to rival the size of Barbs'.
"David this is Miss Cummings she's the sub I was telling you about."
I managed to stop staring at her immense rack and shake her hand. It was very warm.
"Well you get back to your game" Barb said.
When I went back in to the kitchen for a beer Barb called me over to where she and Miss Cummings were sitting together at the table. There were no books open to study, or papers to read. They didn't seem to be doing anything, just sitting across the table from each other like big bust body doubles. Double d doubles.
"Look what someone left on my desk today."She said, reaching into her purse then handing me what looked like a playing card. They were both drinking wine now. I looked at the card "NICE"it said followed by a picture of a pear. "Show Miss Cummings"Barb said " I looked down at the floor blushing at the idea of showing such a sexually suggestive thing to a woman I had only just met."Oh here" Barb said took the card from me and slapped it down on the table in front of Cummings' swollen shirt as if labeling her big tits as a nice pair. " Go watch your game" Barb laughed.
I was back there in front of the T.V.opening a cold one when suddenly Barb was at my ear "She does have quite a nice big pair, doesn't she" she whispered and before I could think of anything to say she was gone.
I'm a shy person really and so I was feeling embarrassed and a little uncomfortable about the way Barb had behaved there in the kitchen; trying to get me to give that card to Miss Cummings It wasn't like her to be so forward.
Then I had a hard on, not just a hard on but a major,raging hard on,my cock was stiff as a bone and throbbing with a kind of numb tingling sensation and it was all the sudden big and hot and very very hard.The strange thing was I wasn't excited, just a little buzzed. Before I went for another beer I had to un tuck my shirt first so my hard standing prick wasn't noticable.
The wine they had been drinking seemed to have loosened the pair of them up a little. Both their shirts were a bit unbuttoned and I stole a glance down Miss Cummings front She had some serious cleavage going on.And on and on.Her skin was a pale, white, alabaster that made it appear to be suckingly soft .I grabbed a beer and turning then noticed them both looking at the outline of my rock hard meat straining up my sweats, obvious there even under my shirt.Miss Cummings leaned over and whispered something to Barb "why yes it is" Barb said and they toasted as I shrunk from the room trying to cover my hot stiff with a beer.
A little while later Barb was there at my ear again. She was wobbling a bit now and I could smell the wine on her breath ."I'm afraid miss Cummings and I have had a bit too much wine.." She said ,I don't think she should be driving, so I've offered to have her spend the night, if that's ok?
"Yeah sure." I said "but hey what was she whispering to you about." "Oh" Barb said bending down and pulling my rock hard prick out of my sweatpants and standing it up in front of her face."My, my that viagra is hard on a man." she said whistling at the size of my big boy. "Well she just asked me" Barb murmered slowly licking up the shaft to my hot purple head" if this beautiful cock was" She gave my cock head a quick tongue swirling suck" " as big as it looked." "No!" I said. Barb laughed and gave my big stiff a parting pat that made it waver a bit standing out in the open in front of the TV It felt good to be released I let it stand out in the air for a moment.
My cock had never been this hard for this long.It was so hard and hot it seemed a thing nearly apart from the rest of me.That numb tingle was something I had never felt before but it was nice, almost as if my cock had a buzz on. It felt and even looked bigger .I wrapped my hand around the hot swollen girth amazed at the size of it"Viagra is hard on a man.". I said to myself.
When I went for another beer they both were sitting at the table with a bottle of unopened wine between them wearing identical nightgowns They were white long shirt looking type things that I'd never seen Barb wear before, with delicate little buttons all down the front and both of them were so wide open that I had to look away to keep from staring .Without a bra their giant titty wobbled and swayed with each innocent movement. "Oh David let me get that for you "Barb said stepping in front of me and opening the refrigerator door.
With the door opened we were out of Cumming's view. Barb reached into her half open shirt and pulled out one of her massive hooters held it at the base with both hands inflating that big tit with a squeeze making that big red areola around the nip expand hugely .She shook it at my face. "Why don't you take a big ole tug on this?" she said loudly in her most breathy seductive voice. I was sure Cummings could hear her."Barb" I whispered. She ignored me grabbed my swollen stiff prick outside my sweats and pulled it horizontal , making my hard on quite obvious. Then she opened the door somehow exposing this sight to Cummings ."Barb!" I said trying to be discreet, turning from Miss Cummings view "We have company!" I said quietly"Oh yes you must excuse me" Barb said "It's just that a hard man is soooo very good to find." she said clearly still holding my rigid prick in her hand .I was so shocked I couldn't move, my ears were burning. I pulled myself away slinked out of the kitchen and back to the T. V. and the game which was over now, even if it wasn't.
I couldn't believe the way Barb was acting.I took several long swallows of beer and tried to relax. What had just happened was beginning to sink in now. Miss Cummings had clearly heard everything Barb had said then seen Barb's hand on my cock. The thought of it was exciting me now, with a kind of delayed reaction lust. I tried to steady myself by taking another shot and sipping at my beer, my prick was so hard now I could have hung a towel on i;.a beach towel, ..a wet beach towel ,and it was tingling all up and down the shaft and the big purple head was so hot it felt as if it might burst into flames.
Barb called from the kitchen again, and I felt an excited little rush in both heads as I stood up. I had a good buzz on now I took my shirt off wanting now to put my hard 9 incher on display. It was tenting out my sweats obscenely as I strutted into the kitchen
"I can't seem to get the cock screw in." Barb said as I walked in handing the bottle across the table to me."I mean corkscrew" She said remaining bent at the waist over the table in front of Miss Cummings. I popped the bottle open Barb licked her lips, eyeing my monster hard on. Her shirt was all open so Miss Cummings was getting a close up of those big dangling fun bags of hers..I'd never seen her like this, but I didn't care it was all so fucking hot."He's quite good at cock screwing"Barb said . Miss Cummings looked up from her inspection of Barbs big hangers over at me and the 9 inches of hard prick jutting out beneath my sweats . Barb straightened up shaking back and forth a bit and held both wine glasses in front of her big swaying honeys.One in front of each tit then began teasing up her nips with the edge on the empty glasses. Cummings was staring at the big prick outlined beneath my sweats very intently now.
And then the real world began to fall away, was gone and I was in a lust filled tit mans fantasy land where nothing existed but big luscious titty, these two sex queens and my king sized cock My mind was raging, wicked, filled with hot sex and I was an unfettered cock man past the bounds of polite behavior living only to fuck and suck forever. I moved my hips shaking my cock a bit for Cummings to see.
I reached across the table and filled the glasses Barb was holding out there in front of her now swollen nips. Cummings looked away from my cock and turned her head to get her wine to find barb bent across the table with one of her big all day suckers hanging out there in front of her. She looked Cummings in the eye, dipped one of her saucer sized areola ed nips into the glass of wine.and stuck it in Cummings face."Care for a taste?" Barb murmured wickedly.
I stood watching in a state of pure passionate lust as Cummings slowly licked the wine off her heavy hanging jug. Then Barb handed her the wine as if rewarding her. .Cummings shirt was open almost to the nips now as well and ..I was staring at those soft looking white monsters nearly mesmerized when Barb moved over and stood beside me one big tit wobbling, still hanging out. Cummings was staring intently at my cock again,
."It isn't polite to stare." Barb said, then paused when Cummings looked at her.There was a tense silence for a moment then Barb spoke saying"But I suppose you must." she sighed "So" she continued " allow me to give you a better view" and pulled my sweats down to my ankles. My stiff prick sprung up and stood at attention waving there out in the open at last.I stepped out of my sweats. I was showing off my raging hard nine inches of prick to a woman I didn't even know.,but it felt so wicked wicked good.
Then Barb was squirting baby oil up and down the length of my hot prick and slowly stroking it at Cummings." So you like the size of this?" she said bending it straight down between my legs cock head pointed at the floor giving Cummings a good look at the size of it . then let pop up to stand. slapping it lightly back and forth with her fingers making it sway side to side. She got on her knees beside me and licked at my shaft staring all the while at Cummings then slapped it with her big titty. "You like that?" Barb hissed at her wickedly " oh yeah" Cummings said.and came towards me grabbing at my cock with both hands. "Prick me" she said.
"Stop that!" Barb suddenly said sternly, walking over pulling Cummings' hand off my prick and getting between the two of us. "This was not part of our arrangement",She said to Cummings pushing her back a bit. The movement caused her to shake and that other big tit came wobbling out of her shirt while she stood there in front of Cummings. I was way past reason or understanding now half toasted in a world made of hard cock and big tit queens.
Watching Barb lecturing Cummings, her big tits sticking out at her like a pair of dangerous weapons had me soaring with excitment.I pulled at my prick while I watched Somewhere this was burning it's way into my sexual psyche .The kind of memory that would remain the most lascivious part of my sexual identity for a long long time, And it was really happening, right here in my kitchen, in front of my rock hard cock and me.
" I was quite clear about the terms of our agreement. Now do you want the other half of your fee or not.." Barb was saying. A logical part of my brain clicked in for a moment." Fee? "I said "You mean she's not another English instructor." I said. "Why David as a tit man surely you know there isn't another teacher of my size in the state with a set as prominant as these. "Barb said sticking them out at Cummings a bit "They do call me Dr juggs for a reason "She said ." No I checked every titty bar in the county to find a girl my size with a comparable set to help celebrate your birthday but none of them quite measured up. I was about to give up when I finally came across Miss Cummings here" . Barb turned and stepped away from cummings and moved over beside me with the baby oil slipping her hand around my fat cock again. "Now" She said looking over at Cummings slowly jerking me seemingly unaware of how wickedly hot my huge prick in her hand looked as if it were just some mundane, unremarkable exercise. " I hope you are clear about the terms of your tenure here." Cummings nodded "I'm sorry" She said "But it's so very big and cuntful looking."she said ,intently watching Barb nonchalantly stroking me
."Yes I suppose it is, but you mustn't touch until you're told to" Barb scolded "Now " she commanded, pointing with my prick."Pull those big alabaster cock teasers of yours out so we can get a look".
She calmly took a drink of wine looking on, her glasses down on her nose. Her seeming indifference to what was happening was very, very exciting .Cummings unbuttoned her nightgown and stuck her chest out pouting at us.
"Oh My that is a big set, isn't it David?" Barb remarked as Cummings big milky hangers came swaying into view. Her skin was so white it made her puffy pink nipples stand out in contrast and they were standing out.Already up and poking. She held one of her big mams in the crook of her arm so half the tit spilled out at us then fixed me with a wicked smile while she pulled at a her pink nip."Like the size of these?" she said looking at Barb. "They are quite large aren't they." Barb said her own big pair sticking out challengingly from her nightgown.
"Shall we have a closer look?" Barb said walking my cock and I over putting her glass of wine on the table and hefting one of Cummings' great whites holding it in her hand shaking and weighing it She stopped jerking me to lift one of her own jumbos..The sight of big busted women touching each other and comparing the size of their big bazookas had always been a fantasy of mine and watching it actually happen there in front of me had me pulling my prick again.
"I just can't tell, here David you be the judge." she said turning to me .I was between them in a shot, Barb returned to stroking me pressing the head of my rock hard hot prick against Cummings hip I hoisted one of her big white hangers in one hand and one of Barbs big potatoes in the other. Barb stroked me slowly cock slapping Cummings as well. She was looking down at Barb playing with my hardcore hog waving and shaking and showing it off for Cummings . I weighed their massive titty for a time then let them flop
I grabbed a tit apiece again at the base now opposite each other nip to nip and began slapping them against each other. Looking at them side by side Cummings big alabaster beautys seemed just a shade larger than Barbs big honkers. I touched their hardened nips together then began flicking them back and forth against each other.Cummings began to moan and had her hand between her legs.
"So you must tell us who has the larger of the two?." Barb asked in her most professorial tone sipping at her wine seemingly oblivious to the handling I was giving her giant jug. "Well I hate to say it" I began.releasing both big suckers.
Barb sighed seemingly sad there was a set as big as her's in town"Well perhaps hers are a tiny bit bigger," she said "but take a look at these great big nips Dave" She had a point, there was really no comparison when it came to nips Barbs big round beauties were much fatter and longer and they seemed to be harder too beating Cummings' puffy pink ones down each time I brushed them against each other. "And these big red saucers."She said holding one of her melons out and twisted the tit flesh up pointing her huge aero at me." You must admit that they are... ah quite formidable" she said dropping her tit then reaching over lifting one of those big milkys Cummings sported. "Well Miss Cummings you seem to have bested me with your prodigious pair" She said raising her glass to toast. "To Miss Cummings and her remarkablely large tit."
We all drank some wine. It's impossible to explain how hot I was standing there with my big rock hard prick out showing off for these two. Barb began to nonchalantly stroke it again sipping at her wine. Cummings was craving my cock that was obvious. Barb was pretending not to notice. She seemed so regal and reserved almost as if this big tit orgy were just an everyday occurrence. It was all so hot it had me nearly dizzy with desire.
"Well now" Barb said calmly sipping a bit more wine. "Now that that's settled. We are at your service birthday boy" She said calmly reaching over and burying a finger in Cummings wet cunt."What would you have us do" she said licking her finger nonchalantly.

I am an amateur woodworking who specializes in fine jewelry boxes. Most of my projects integrate a music box with the jewelry box. I have always enjoyed the look of surprise and pleasure on a person's face when they open some part of the box and the music box begins to play.
My raw skills were learned from my father, whom I consider an accomplished craftsman, even though he doesn't always agree!
I have only recently acquired a home where I have been able to outfit half of my garage with the power tools and bench space to have a shop of my own.

Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be an interesting element of your woodworking journey. You should fit right in here in that there are a number of accomplished box makers on board. I really never gave boxes the attention that they deserved but after participating in the activities on this site I have gained a newfound respect and admiration both for the boxes themselves and for those talented enough to create these pieces. I look forward to seeing some of your posts. -- Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful- Joshua Marine |

Project Gen 3 STi: Testing the COBB AccessPORT
By Wes Dumalski
As it turns out owning a project car is not easy! First and foremost these are real cars owned by real people that pay for them with their own money. Life as well as vehicle practicality and reliability have ways of getting in the way of project car progress and/or completion. Take our Gen 3 GR STi project for example... We had had the car repainted, put back to stock all just so we could start fresh. OK so that is a total lie, the real story is that the previous project car was sold by the owner after blowing up it's totally stock motor on more than one occasion...

Last month I took a trip to Guangdong, China and Hong Kong to train a customer to use the Cosworth ECPro ECU and software suite. I had no idea what to expect in China. It was to some degree what I expected being a developing country, but it was also good to discover that street car tuning is alive and kicking. Track days are massively gaining popularity and there's even a touring car race series.
In 2006 Cosworth started the Performance Parts business based out of the Torrance, CA Champ Car and Formula Atlantic engine build and test facility. Today the product line has expanded to form a self sustaining stand alone business with a world wide customer base. With Subaru engines and components being the most popular product line, on May 19, 2011, Cosworth built its 400th Subaru engine.

With only 30 minutes before the first session of the day we were able to throw our Traqmate and a few Contour cameras into the GST Motorsports Impreza "L" just before Jeff Westphal drove it to a new track record of 1:35.548! Check out the video and data inside!

A fun video Tyler put together for shits and giggles. Hopefully Cosworth doesn't make us take it down. Benny Hill is making a comeback.
NEW PRODUCT: 2 New Product Offerings from Whiteline Automotive
Whiteline is pleased to announce two new products: adjustable rear control arms for the Mitsubishi Evolution 10 and an anti-lift/caster kit for any MY08+ WRX or STi. MORE
Updates after the first day of Superlap Australia's World Time Attack 2010. The Panspeed FD is a surprising performer. The CyberEVO has problems. Guess who's in the lead?
Updates and inside scoops on the Pro Class entries after a couple days of testing and the night before the Superlap Australia World Time Attack 2010. Believe it or not so far it appears the rotary engined cars are the most reliable. Imagine that...
The cars from the USA and Japan have arrived in Australia safely. Look inside for some pics and some detailed pics of the RX-7s. The Superlap Australia World Time Attack event is surprisingly mainstream. The picture above is a billboard advertisement on one of the freeways between Eastern Creek International Raceway and Sydney. There are also plenty of printed ads and radio ads as well.

Introduced in 2008, the latest Subaru STI is the third generation of its model type. Designated GR the new STI is an all new platform. The new GR chassis has a 3.3 inch longer wheelbase but a 2.8 inch shorter overall length for less overhangs and a lower polar moment of inertia. The new chassis is 2.2 inches wider and 2.2 inches higher and has gained about 70 lbs for a curb weight of around 3,375 lbs.
2008+ Subaru Impeza STi Parts You Need
Something's been getting in the way of my blogging: life. For now, here's some bad ass parts you need to have for your 2008 and newer Subaru STi:
Cosworth S2D Dual AVCS 278°-10.7mm IN/274°-10.0mm EX Camshafts
Subaru to Race Both WTCC and WRC?
Motorsports improves the breed. Too bad it won't improve the way the 2008 Impreza hatchback looks (I dig the sedan actually), but at least Subaru is racing it. It looks like the WTCC and the WRC are heading toward the same set of rules so now teams can race in both events with minor changes. This is good news. Hopefully the other factories will follow suit. Racing as a whole (outside of redneck dirt modified and circle track stuff) needs growth.

The Red Dragon - Part 2
Progress is slow on the Red Dragon since everybody is busy all the time. Lew is currently working on the suspension. In our search to create a perfect Impreza, I contacted the guys at Whiteline in Australia to see if they would be interested in working with us. Fortunately they were and Whiteline sent us the works. Every bushing, bar, ball joint, bracket, and piece they had for the 2008 STi showed up a week after our email and phone conversation. Thanks to Mike Kojima for setting this up for me; what a cool guy. Mike also set me up with some custom Whiteline sway bars for the [Read the rest of this article...]

Hi, I've read somewhere that it's recommended to format the drive where you want to place the database data and log files with a 64k cluster size to have better i/o performance because of it's 1 to 1 corelation. is that true? Ken
Supposedly, because SQL Server uses extents as a unit of I/O, and 1 extent is 8 * 8K pages = 64k. Also aligning the boundaries is important, I don't tend to get too involved in this kind of stuff because I have hardware men to do all this stuff. We had a new HP EVA SAN a while back though and did a bunch of testing on boundary alignment and found that it didn't make much difference. I believe 64k block size is a genuine recommendation though.
We also format it with 64k clusster size because it is certainly (even a little) one form of filefragmentation you can do something about. [Y]
thanks guys for answering as for satya's question, it's on a SAN with a raid 10 config. is there a difference if it's on a san or not? and also is there a difference what raid it's on? i know that raid 1 or raid 10 is the recommended for I/O performance if you have heavy read and write and raid 5 is only good if it's does alot of read and not write. Ken
Good, no issues I just wanted to know whether it is a SAN or not. If you have lot of reads then better go with RAID5, as RAID10 is your I/O throughput and it should be very fast, since RAID 10 uses all of the drives in the array, to gain higher I/O rates, the more drives in the array will increase performance. Overall this purely depends on how quickly the transactions are written to disk and how your queires are optimized.
is 64k only for the data partition or both data and log partition. i was chatting with someone and hey told me that the log is on a different size.
In my expeirence i t is not a rule of thumb that if you change cluster size the performance will be increased. You must consider the options such as frequent transaction log backup and writes to the data file will have better balances the trade off between disk defragmentation due to smaller cluster size and wasted space due to a large cluster size.
Hi Satya, Space will not be an issue. It's more of a performance that i'm worried about. This is becuase the database will be housing legal documents eg. .doc, .pdf, .rtf etc etc. there will be alot of read and write to and from the disk and also as for transaction log backup, it will be once every hour. also there will be about 500 concurrent users on the db at any given time. I've read through the tips and tricks on this site about hardware tuning to optimize the sql server performance, it just that i would like any other idea that might help and also if the 64k cluster size will give me even a 0.5% increase in performance i'll implement it. Also the application and db will be provided to us by a third party vendor, so the idea of fiddling around with indexes and also queries to optimize performance is out of the question due to the vendor's clause of "no modifications allowed to the application or database else support agreement will be void"
Ah, third party tools shenanigans. In this case you have to trial and error by adjusting the relevant cluster size if the database is used extensively. In any case don't forget to test and also suggest relevant indexes changes to the vendor too, if they listen to you.
Hi Satya, Thanks for the advice. I'll do that. This vendor has a history of not putting primary key constraint on any of their tables, which is why now in the SRS, I've made sure i've added a Requirements to have primary keys and indexes. Ken

To descend walk up to the top of the buttress and pick up the trail that heads down into the drainage. The guide book says to go up a little bit to pick up the trail. The ground was snow covered and we ended up going too high and had a really shitty bushwack. You shouldn't need to go very high at all. Managed to pick up the trail again after a bit. Anyhow, the trail heads down into the drainage on top of Cascade falls. The trail resumes just shorty above the top of the falls, should be easy too see. Follow the well beaten path down without problems. Pretty straight forward.
The climb itself sucks but the views are fantastic.

Allen E. Dins, 81, of Colby died Sunday, February 3, 2013, at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield, due to an apparent heart attack. Allen was born July 30, 1931, in Colby to Albert and Edna (Mandel) Dins. He attended Colby schools and was a member of the Colby High School graduating class of 1949. He continued his education at the UW Marathon campus before transferring to the UW Madison. He enjoyed his college years-even hitch-hiking home. Allen graduated from the UW with a degree in accounting and, as a result of the years spent in Madison, he was an avid Badger fan. Allen was employed by several firms in Medford and Marshfield. Also, during that time he worked from home and kept the books for various local businesses and did tax work. He especially enjoyed preparing taxes and talking to his many clients. Allen always took a great deal of pride in his work and was known for his skill-he officially retired last year. Being a very thoughtful person, Allen enjoyed giving gifts to his many friends. Shopping was one of his passions. Also, known to be a gregarious individual, he loved to socialize and entertain others. He threw many fun-filled cocktail and birthday parties throughout the years. And, of course, he loved to tell a good joke or hear one. One thing he always looked forward to was going to Las Vegas with his sister. He was proud of the fact he went at least once a year since 1969 and was just planning the next trip for April. Having been to Vegas over 50 times, he naturally had many friends out west and enjoyed seeing them each year. By the way, he was greeted, there was no doubt the feeling was mutual. Allen enjoyed dining out, going to the casino (the overnight trips to Turtle Lake), and talking to his friends. He could converse with anyone. He especially enjoyed spending time with his sister and, in his opinion, she could not visit often enough. Allen and Rita had / have a very special relationship. Allen is survived by his sister Rita Dins Aschenbrenner of Rosholt, his brother Paul of Colby and special friend Kim Dawson. He was preceded in death by his parents. Funeral Services for Allen will be on Saturday, February 9, 2013 at the Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford at 1:00 PM. Reverend Kenneth A. Dix will officiate. Burial will be in Colby Memorial Cemetery. Visitation will be on Friday, February 8 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM and on Saturday from noon until time of services at the funeral home. Maurina Schilling Funeral Home of Abbotsford is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences can be made to www.maurinaschilling.com

Wall Street Street Editor James Taranto over the past couple of years have penned an interesting theory that the political effect of Roe v Wade has been to reduce the number of liberal voters and will continue to have a profound effect upon politics in the upcoming decades.
Here some thoughts that support the contention. President Bush carried 97 of the nation's 100 fastest-growing counties; many of whom are in subdivisions at the peripheral of major cities. This has helped in solidifying Republican hold in the "red states" while giving Republicans some foothold in so-called "blue states", in particular the Midwest.
In the more liberal states that favored John Kerry, fertility rates are 12% lower than in those states that voted for George Bush. In 2000, the results were similar. States that favored Bush, the average woman produced 2.11 children; which is above what is considered replacement levels. The states that went for Gore, the number was 1.89, which is below replacement levels. After the 2000 census, Southern and Western states saw an increase in congressional representatives and this occurred at the expense of the more liberal Northeast. If present trends continue to hold, the Red States will continue grow in population and in political importance at the expense of the Blue States.
James Taranto concluded, " Not all women, after all, are equally likely to have abortions. It's almost a truism that women who have abortions are more pro-choice than those who carry their pregnancies to term, and it stands to reason that they generally have more-liberal attitudes about sex and religion. It also seems reasonable to assume that parents have some influence on their children, so that if liberal women are having abortions, the next generation will be more conservative than it otherwise would be." The one direct effect of legalized abortions is that fewer liberal voters are being born.
Another aspect of this decision is the effect it is having upon African-Americans. 1 out of every 3 abortions are African-Americans and Africans-Americans are three times more likely to abort their unborn children. The first effect is obvious. Since African-Americans vote nearly 90% for Democratic candidates, this has reduced the number of Democratic voters. The second is just as obvious. Liberals have unwittingly designed a birth control program that is mildly eugenic since it effects minorities more than Whites.
In the early 90's, I was involved in a debate over a pro-life declaration among United Methodist. The Durham Declaration, as it was called, presented a Christian case against the liberalized abortions laws then and now in effect. The Declaration was signed by variety of Church members that ranged from liberal theologians to the more conservative evangelicals. The declaration engineered widespread criticisms from many pro-choice Methodist. What I found fascinating was the response of one leading critic, Professor John Swomley. Professor Swomley had been a leading advocate of the pro-choice movement within the Church and a advocate of population control in general.
Professor Swomley, a long time leftist and critic, had written much on the need for population control in the third world as a needed panacea for economic growth. Swomley's thesis was simple- reduce the number of children born in "over populated" country and present resources can be better spread among the rest. My own observation then as now, was that Professor Swomley's policies was specifically designed to reduce the number of babies born to parents of Africans, Hispanic and Asian descents. Since birth rates among developed White dominated population had already reached population stabilization and was even headed down below replacement levels, much of the population control efforts were and still is being conducted in developing nations.
It is ironic that the mostly "progressive policy" of liberalized abortions may be having a mildly eugenic effect upon both minorities and liberal voters. Taranto's thesis is that as long as abortions remains legal, then conservative voters will continue to grow at a larger number. The catch is that it is conservative voters are more likely to oppose liberalized abortion laws despite the fact that it works against their political interest whereas liberal voters are likely to support policies that reduces their voter pool.
I do not suggest that Pro-choice advocates are engaged in a purposeful eugenic policy. They are not. What I am suggesting is that liberal supporters of Roe have supported a policy that is reducing their voter base.

Usually people are shrinking the pixel, and then bragging about beating the performance of the larger pixel - not the other way around. Not very impressive that they made a larger pixel with better performance.
I'm curious what is the market for these sensors, especially in regards to the optical format. The 1" and 4/3 format are used in "prosumer" type mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. However, these sensors are definitely not spec'd for that type of camera. What other markets are using these optical formats?
-DP - AnonymousOctober 23, 2012 at 5:42 PM
Can these sensors competite with sCMOS in terms of low light performance??

1" HDTV CCD imager ... isn't that the same as what Philips did 25 years ago ? If I remember well, Philips realized 60 fps with only 2 outputs and demonstrated their device in HDTV broadcast cameras 20 years ago at the Olympics in Barcelona.

In a private briefing at the firm's Wall Street headquarters, its senior partner and chairman, Jon Corzine, reported that earnings for the quarter ending 29 February soared to $565m (pounds 367m), a threefold increase on earnings of the same quarter a year ago.
The stellar performance provides further evidence of the turnaround in the fortunes of Goldman Sachs, the last big private partnership on Wall Street. In common with most of the industry, the bank took a beating in 1994 thanks largely to rising interest rates and a depressed bond market. Mr Corzine took over at the end of 1994 when the firm was at its lowest ebb.
It was the fifth consecutive quarter to show improving earnings and the firm's fourth most profitable quarter ever. Because of its status as a partnership, it is impossible to estimate after-tax earnings. The 174 partners are taxed on their individual shares in the firm'sprofits.
"It was a very positive quarter for all divisions, there was very consistent profitability," one partner who was at the briefing told the New York Times.
Mr Corzine noted recently: "We have had favourable markets; we have had a relatively attractive environment to execute a turnaround". He has been credited with returning Goldman Sachs to health after the setbacks of two years ago, scaling back the firm's operating expenses and making cuts in the workforce.
Only weeks ago, Goldman Sachs was agonising over a proposal finally to abandon its partnership model and to go public in an attempt to reinforce its capital base. The plan was rejected, however, after a large number of its junior partners objected that they would be unfairly penalised by such a move.
Financial statements due to be published shortly are expected to show a healthy increase in of the firm's capital from $4.9bn on 30 November last year to well over $5bn at the end of February.
Total revenue in the first quarter reached $1.464bn while expenses - mostly in the form of the partners' earnings - also climbed to $899m. For the same quarter a year ago, revenue was $906m and costs $746m.

Kamp Kiwis LLC purchased this cabin in 2006
We purchased our property with the intent to make it our dream cabin paying close attention to every detail in design. The house has stunning decks and rustic architectural detail while being extremely comfortable.
Our goal is to make our guests feel like our house is your vacation home for your stay.
Beyond the comfort of home, the cabin also sits near the edge of National forest. Just strap on your jandles and step outside for views of the rim.
In early morning and late afternoon, you'll likely see deer moving through the property. In the fall, the resident elk herd also migrates through the area. Local birds and fox are also common.
If you have an ATV or UTV, we have plenty of parking to bring up your rig and cruise around town.
Thank you again for the beautiful accommodations. We truly enjoyed every minute of our time.
Our family wishes your family health & happiness.
owners made it super easy, which is always nice. it's in a great location - close enough to walk to sidewinders (and other places) if the weather's decent. house is super nice, the deck is great, and it has everything you might need for your stay.
The cabin was tastefully decorated, clean, warm and cozy. It was located on a quiet street with elk grazing nearby and surrounding cabins appearing to be second homes. I found I had everything I needed for a lovely stay.
We went to the Kamp Kiwis Cedar House in Pine, AZ for two nights and were thrilled with our stay. The house was very clean and inviting, with lots of amenities including everything one would need for cooking, fast wi-fi, plenty of cable channels, plus Netflix and YouTube.
A family of elk walked right by the back deck and the area was very quiet. We had a wonderful time!
We had a wonderful time in your beautiful mountain home. We spent lots of time on the deck and during our visit we saw multiple elk, deer, javelina along with a resident squirrel and rabbit. Pine is such a quaint town with lots of shops and activities. We will be back!
Living in the valley, I forgot how totally black it gets outside at night. I haven't seen so many stars in a very long time. Saw whitetail deer and elk from the windows. This beautiful cabin had literally everything! Clean, cozy, and a fantastic wrap around porch!
Be sure to turn right out of the driveway and check out awesome views of the Rim just a couple blocks away. THAT Burger and Pub
and Ice Cream/Fudge shop right off main road are musts. You can't help but enjoy this great cabin and location! The cabin and most eateries even allow well behaved pups!
This is a lovely. comfortable home where you immediately feel relaxed and looked after. Everything you could want is provided and the furnishings are first rate. Deer and elk wander through the area and it is a treat to see them. We loved the large bathrooms and soft towels at our disposal. It is a quiet almost serene place, but you can be a busy as you want with much to do and explore. Good restaurants and friendly people. If you have the opportunity to book this home you will be delighted. L Lane.

Jamie Lee Curtis Speaks at Drug Council Fundraiser, Michael Myers Nowhere to Be Seen
It was nice to hear Jamie Lee Curtis talk about something other than yogurt that helps you poop, for a change.Photo Courtesy of Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston Jamie Lee Curtis: "Somebody who's lost is not a loser."
The Curtis who gave a speech Thursday at a fundraising luncheon for the Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston wasn't the smiley Activia-fairy who magically appears whenever a woman somewhere is at war with her gastrointestinal tract, but a no-nonsense recovering alcohol-and-Vicodin addict who peppered a speech on battling substance abuse with quotes from Anaïs Nin, Jamaica Kincaid and the Talmud.
Curtis was invited to speak as part of The Waggoners Foundation Speakers Series, which brings in some big names -- Ashley Judd, Jim Belushi, Betty Ford -- to talk about their personal struggles with addiction (and to raise money for the council).
We were secretly hoping for some behind-the-scenes dishing about boozin' it up on the set of Terror Train (one of our faves) or what it was like to work with Eddie Murphy back when he was funny (Trading Places); what we got was a pretty serious look at 14 years of sobriety.

We say that because Curtis focused more on her recovery, and her attitudes on addiction in general, than on what drove her there in the first place. This made her brief mentions of those darker days all the more effective; like how, early in her pill-popping career, she never had to rely on a shady doctor to write a prescription -- she simply stole from friends' medicine cabinets.
"I took a little five-finger discount out of your lovely home," she said.
Coming from what she called a "rigid" family where kids weren't encouraged to have "your own mind, own ideas," she didn't realize she had a problem until much later in life. Not even the death of her brother Nicholas -- a heroin overdose at age 21 -- made her take stock of herself. Her moment of clarity, she said, literally happened overnight. Realizing there was a problem was the easy part. The hard part was the very first step: "I could not admit that I was powerless over drugs and alcohol."
Part of that came from a stigma that, she says, people still attach to addiction. What she eventually realized was, "Somebody's who lost is not a loser."
Ultimately, she says, she also came to the conclusion that a dependency on drugs and alcohol is but one flavor of addiction -- and this is where Curtis got a bit hardcore, saying, "We're addicted to porn, we're addicted to smut," and lamenting the current styles of high-school couture -- "Have you been to a prom lately? They're not prom dresses."
That all figured into her concern over statistics allegedly indicating that girls as young as eight or nine wish they were thinner, and how body image issues are leading to "a genocide of women" who "think 'it' can be bought or pulled or augmented."
Okay -- even though we thought the "genocide" bit was a little much, we dig the fact that Curtis agreed to speak at this fundraiser; from what we can tell, the council -- which claims to turn no one away, and whose clinic doors are always open -- does tremendous work. The fact that celebrities like her are willing to lend their clout, and share some of the less camera-friendly parts of their lives, to a cause that has helped thousands of Houstonians get clean is pretty cool. Hell, it's even as cool as, if not cooler than, Terror Train.

Time Passes
It hurts. It still hurts so much. And I don't want the holidays to come.
11 comments :
I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now. It will get better. The first holidays without someone are the hardest. But they DO get easier.
Soon you'll have someone new in your life, and you'll forget about these sad days of missing him.
Keep thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. You'll make it through, I promise.Keep in mind you could dislike the holidays even if you ARE with someone (insert pic of ME, LOL). Holidays are just another day to get with family...so enjoy the family. OR...go ice skating by yourself, read a good book, just enjoy the days off work. :) If you want to get away, we always have an opening for a sitter for the children...(that means someone comes to see the kids, I stay and visit with them, and I get to send Hubby out somewhere with his friends, LOL). Things will be better. Drink hot cocoa and take a good, long nap today. Sending hugs your way.
I know the pain and distress of which you speak. Time does heal, but saying that will seem so trite and irrelevant you won't want to hear it.
However - look at all those blog followers and admirers you have - you aren't going to be alone this holiday. And someday (probably really soon) that awesome knockout smile you have is gonna make the guy of your dreams heart melt. So keep smiling.I've not commented here before but this really touched me and I just wanted to reach out to you. Not that I have any real solution to offer, however much I'd like to be able to. Lisa's right - no way but through it - and it's so hard sometimes. It sounds trite perhaps but just take it moment by moment. You've obviously made it so far through this already, with courage and grace, and this too shall pass...
ReplyDeletemaki, I really really hope so. It's just been rough all around. I hope 2009 is better for you too.
chicagolady, thank you for the kind words. I've known the holidays would be hard, but they're coming regardless so I'll just have to get through them.
lainey, exactly. It's especially hard when you see everyone else with smiles on their faces and enjoying their time when your heart is just not into it. I recently read on someone's blog (I'm sorry I don't remember whose) that her husband told her to "Fake it til you make it." Maybe faking the smile will trick my brain into thinking things aren't so bad?
tooj, leave it to you to make me laugh about this. Thank you so much for the suggestions, I'm going to start a pick-me-up list and add those to it. P.S. I got your e-mail and will reply in a bit.
intense guy, how sweet was your comment? I actually smiled when I read it. Thank you for that.
lisa, you probably could find more, but thanks for choosing to share the good ones. You're right, sometimes all the words in the world can't make the hurt go away, but it does help knowing people care.
heidi and ladystyx, thank you.
kendalee, thanks for dropping in and for the warm thoughts. And yeah, I have made it pretty far. All those feelings just get triggered from time to time and I have to take a couple steps back to get myself together. It'll be ok I'm sure...mostly.
yaya, thanks for the hugs and thoughts.

Irvine student wins $10,000 Google science award
IRVINE If winning first prize at a schoolwide science fair seems like a big deal, then imagine how 14-year-old Nimal Subramanian felt recently when he won the People's Choice Award for the first Google Science Fair, an international competition.
As the recipient of the most of the public's online votes, Nimal won a $10,000 scholarship and is now one of the top 15 finalists before a panel of judges. The judging for the grand prize is July 11. The fair drew in about 7,500 entries that were submitted by close to 10,000 students from 90 countries.
Nimal, an eighth-grader at Rancho San Joaquin Middle School in Irvine, submitted his project "Cancerbuster" in the 13-14 age group. The project focused on whether the germination and protein content of certain seeds decreased when combined with a series of edible spices, such as pepper, cumin, ginger and hibiscus and the anti-cancer agent turmeric.
Q: How did you get the idea for this project?
A: My science teacher at school told us that this fair was going on. My mom and my family in India use a lot of the same spices in their cooking and I've never really liked them, even though my family's always telling me about how good they are for you. I wanted to do a project that would help people. There have been similar experiments published, but I used different spices in my tests.
Q: What was it like to win this award?
A: Winning this was like winning the Nobel Prize for me. It's given me the inspiration to reach new heights and I'm really encouraged now to keep trying to make the world a better place.
Q: What kind of work and time went into conducting the experiment?
A: Well, my younger sister Sraya had to wake me up about 20 minutes early before school for a week to check on the germination results, and then it took another couple of weeks to do the write-up. It didn't interfere with school or anything like that.
Q: What was your favorite part of doing the project?
A: I really liked seeing all the effects of the anti-cancer agents. I love the idea of helping people and when I get older, I plan on working on finding natural medications to help cure diseases and illnesses.
Q: What do you like to do for fun?
A: Science has always been a passion of mine, but that's not all I do. I've been in the Irvine Youth Basketball League for four years, and I'm on a swim team, too. I also really enjoy inventing stuff. Like when I was in fifth grade, I had this rolling back-pack that hurt when I carried it on my back, so I designed one where the wheels would retract when you put it on.
Q: Is there anyone who has been helping you along and mentoring you?
A: Both my parents have always been very encouraging and have taught me how to use various scientific techniques to do research. My dad is a scientist at UC Irvine in the medical department and my mom is an associate professor at Long Beach State.

I built and tore down 3 studios in 7 years. My most recent creation was built February 2008. I named it 37Hundred (http://www.37Hundred.com) after a late friend of mine, Desperado Dre.
I got my first big break when my best friend gave me the opportunity to play beats for San Quinn. I brought my heaters and it was a wrap. Later on, we worked day in and day out putting together one of his most anticipated albums, "From a Boy to Man". My favorite memory working with San Quinn was right before we were wrapping up the album I played him one last beat. That beat was "Rockin' Up Work", which not only became a street anthem and arguably one of the best songs on the album, but the wave I will ride for the rest of my life. BUWWAAY! Since then its been an incredible journey. Quinn's manger said to me at our first recording session, "...once you fuck wit Quinn, you start fuckin' wit everybody." Little did I know.

I've been impressed by the student collections this year. They seem to strike the right balance between creative and commercial. Case in point: Camilla Francesca Lastrina, who is a finalist for the Mittelmoda Fashion Award, an international student competition which will announce winners in September. Lastrina's work is about refined layers, ruffles and draping. I am also gaga for former John Galliano and Bernhard Willhelm intern Anne Marie Jensen, whose colorful graduate collection was inspired by Kafka and the circus. And finally, I'm loving the crisp white toreador-inspired pieces from Nanna Isbrandt Bach Jansen's portion of the show.

Stine Goya
"Cool by the pool" perfectly summarizes Stine Goya's Spring/Summer collection. Colors were orange, mint green, grey and classic black, with ombre and sequin effects sprinkled throughout. Perhaps in a tribute to Michael Jackson, a few menswear inspired looks were paired with a single sequined glove...

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Off Topic Discussions
- - Something is diffrent
Something is diffrent So this morning i logged on and something is diffrent about the forum cant put my finger on it, but something has changed. has anyone else noticed it too? |
Hopefully y'all like the new name change; I certainly do! :-D |
I think it's very nice! :) |
Well, for me, I don't like fixing things that aren't broke. As I sit here looking at the NEW and improved name, I think if I had to of changed it, I would of gone with Tropical Fish Keepers. One seeing that is what we are, and two that is most likely what other fish keepers would be looking for. Just my two cents worth and you know what they say about opinions! |
Why was there even a change in the first place? |
i didnt even notice till i read this thread...shows how observant i am (i promise i pay more attention to my fish) lol |
good thought i was going crazy or was extremely (insert word here) :O |
fish forum was very good for search engines!!! But since that will redirect to this, and this is a nice domain too, I think its a good idea. |
Hi guys, Quote:
We're glad you think it's a good idea, mrdenim, and we hope others do to and that it grows on those who don't! :-P Thanks, guys! |

Fighting Entropy One More Time
If anybody ever visited an island to study puzzle game designers in their wild habitat, the resulting eye witness account would be dismissed as the incoherent ramblings of a madman. For puzzle game designers are a beast feasting on the fiendish delight of constantly thwarting the efforts of the player. Furthermore, they manage to force people into a frenzy in which they can't stop bringing order to the chaos around them. Parents in the whole world laugh at the notion of such a creature allegedly existing.
Looking at the addictiveness of Critter Crunch, moms worldwide might ask themselves a few tough questions though. Is it the lack of trophy support in the household? Is it me not barfing rainbows ever so often? Should I stop tuning in bad 90ies radio stations and play some carnival music? The old Java cell phone game, turned iPhone game turned PSN game Critter Crunch, certainly raises a few questions.
At its core, Critter Crunch is an evolution of Magical Drop for the NeoGeo. The player, at the bottom of the screen, has to deal with a garbled mess of multicolored marbles, neatly arranged in lines, by sorting them before they come crashing down. Critter Crunch expands on that idea, by changing the rules of matching three of the same color to feeding smaller critters to larger ones. Naturally, whenever a piece is removed all adjacient pieces of the same type and color are removed as well. Over the course of many levels, those simple rules are escalated with special critters for reasons of added complexity and difficulty.
Three basic modes of play exist. In survival mode, the player simply has to rack up a certain score. A new line of Critters appears every few seconds and there is no time to really contemplate too many moves. Just feed small critters to the larger ones so they blow up. Exploding Critters turn into crystals the player has to collect within a small timeframe in order to fill up a bar. Once the bar is filled, the level is won. In Puzzle mode, the player has to remove all the pieces from the board with only X amount of turns at his disposal. Finally, there is Challenge mode, which will end if the player has met certain criteria such as blowing up an amount of critters, or pulling off a number of predefined combos.
But don't be fooled by Critter Crunch's exterior made for three year olds. This game is as brutal as few Puzzle games ever got. Each mode can get infuriatingly frustrating. All is nice in the beginning. The game introduces positive critters dropping items awarding the player special powers and variations of exploding critters helping to remove pieces from the board more quickly. Later, there will be critters unwilling to eat others and blockers, doing nothing more than to completely restrict access to a whole line. Sometimes the player will see the starting screen and simply know that this random spawn cannot be overcome in the 10 seconds the game alloted for the task. Around level 40 one can easily try a level 20 times and never have the slightest of chance, only to have crazy luck on the 21st attempt.
Critter Crunch is certainly not handing out easy gold trophies. On the contrary, towards the end most people might find success depending on too many lucky breaks. Puzzle mode tries to be the opposite while being just as nail-biting at times. Having to obliterate the craziest screen in three turns sometimes looks impossible. The limited turns, however, will make this exercise easier. If the player only has three turns, there is only so much guesswork to be done.
Challenge mode is a mixture of puzzle and survival. Sometimes challenge mode refuses to spawn new lines, thus turning itself into a very relaxed puzzle with a victory condition other than "blow up everything". At other times, challenge mode demands wonders within short periods of time. Again, the random spawning of new critters might ruin all your chances in some challenges. If something does not spawn ten times within 60 seconds, the player cannot trigger the victory condition ten times to win the round.
Regular single player consists of the player traveling across an island, taking on five quests at a time, of which he has to complete three to advance to the next stage. Usually the five quests consist of three survival levels, a puzzle and a challenge. If a level is failed it can be retried indefinitely, although for some reason there is a two second loading screen before each retry.
The same randomness infuriating single players, does work rather well in the multiplayer mode. Especially in versus mode, available locally and over the Internet, the game never turns too sour for the looser. There is always the randomization to blame and games can turn upside down in seconds. Naturally, every opponent would have had you on his next move and one can seldomly outright dismiss such claims. At times competitive Critter Crunch can be a war of attrition in which desperately hanging on wins the game more than anything else. Ever so often your side of the board will look very dire, when suddenly serendipity strikes in your favor, utterly annihilating your opponent. Be ready to always claim that anything was on purpose, of course.
In the end it is hard not to like Critter Crunch. For a $7 game it offers many hours of fun both in single and multi player modes. Members of the completionist tribe shall be warned though, this game can make you angry at times. Many levels have cut-throat difficulty people will shake their angry fist at while hitting the restart button over and over. Art and music of the game certainly do their best to make every 'connoisseur de puzzle game' look like a total imbecile. Such things should not deter any puzzle game fan from the purchase. Rainbow barfing protagonist aside, deep down inside Critter Crunch is a very hardcore puzzle game. It might start off nice and friendly, but it can make self-proclaimed Pro-Gamers curl up and cry. If you do, and you will, Critter Crunch has this devious quality taunting you to come back more often than you probably should.
The game receives 4.5 stars. Single player on its own would have gotten a full point deducted. Mainly, due to random critter spawns being able to beat the most skillful player to a pulp. But ironically the thing ruining single player to a degree is giving multiplayer just what it needs. A player might need luck to bring his full potential to a fight, but in exchange the matches are close and nerve wracking at times. Bottom line is you should try Critter Crunch even if the presentation is a mismatch to your fully tattooed and pierced lifestyle of Satanic worship.

text: Greyhaze Records is proud to announce the forthcoming worldwide reissue of THE MIST's Phantasmagoria on February 3, 2017. The Brazilian Thrashers originally released this amazing album in 1989. Featuring the influential vocals of Vladmir Korg (original singer of CHAKAL) and the pure thrash fury for which Brazil is known, Phantasmagoria will now get a proper worldwide release on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette formats, a long-awaited offering to all true fans of the genre! Pre-order: http://store.greyhazerecords.com/index.phproute=product/product&product_id=463 Upon its 1989 release Phantasmagoria was a departure from what was being done by bands from the City of Belo Horizonte up to that point. The album showed a Thrash attack that was as vicious as it was precise. Drummer Cristiano Salles' relentless thrash beat coupled with Korg's unmistakable higher-pitched guttural vocals set the tone of an album that had everything to become a big album. Sadly, it was not to achieve the recognition that it deserved. Over the years it circulated through the Metal world as somewhat of an obscure collector's item. Now with this Greyhaze reissue, Phantasmagoria gets its overdue North American and European official release! Track Listing: 1. Flying Saucers in the Sky 2. Smiles, Tears and Chaos 3. A Step into the Dark 4. The Enemy 5. Hate 6. Barbed Wire Land (At War) 7. Phantasmagoria 8. Lightning in the Dark 9. Like a Bad Song 10. Faces of Glass http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/The_Mist/7100 www.greyhazerecords.com www.facebook.com/greyhazerecords Source : https://www.facebook.com/clawhammerpr

Baby Vegetarian
Posted by Beck Sunnyday on Jun 04, 2013 · Member since Jun 2013 · 4 posts
Hey ho everybody! I'm on day 5 as a vegetarian and so far, it's great! I've been trying to figure out for years, the cause of my nausea every time I ate and have recent discovered that meat is the culprit! Who knew that all meat could be so damaging to me? Growing up on a farm, it was always a big part of our diets but no more! I am determined to never eat meat again. Might even give up dairy as I think that bothers me too.
Any tips on how to make the transition stay? I've tried this before but with little luck.

Subject: | Translation |
Question: | When a book, film or TV program is translated into another language, what do translators do when puns, anagrams or other wordplay is involved? To use one example, one mystery story I read had the solution hinge on the homophone floorless/flawless. When translated, this would 'break' and the premise fails. Another example is the movie Sneakers. The plot hinges on an anagram 'Setec Astronomy'/'too many secrets'. |
Reply: | I recommend Ved Mehta's article "A second voice" which appeared in the New Yorker, and is also in his 1971 (!) collection called John is Easy to Please, from Farrar, Straus, & Giroux. Mehta describes a particular UN interpreter, George Sherry, who when presented with a Shakespearean quote in the midst of someone's speech, could bring up a similar Shakespearean quotation - equivalence of meaning again - which he knew in the other language. I haven't read this chapter for several years, but recall that Sherry worked between Russian and English. And you may recall in the Story of Garp by John Irving, the boy mishears the warning to "watch out for the undertow" and is on guard for that sea creature the undertoad. Swedish friends reported that this pun works in Swedish as underströmmen (understow) and underst-hummen (under-est-lobster). Written translation has the advantage of time to search for such equivalence. Simultaneous translation (interpreting) must do in in the moment! |

Overnight stay in Copenhagen
You're looking for luxury accommodation? You want to spend the night in a designer room? You want to try out a boutique hotel? Or would you prefer accommodation at a fair price? We've compiled a list of select addresses for every taste
Radisson Blu Royal Hotel
Top addressAt one time the most modern, elegant hotel in Scandinavia, Arne Jacobsen's artistic synthesis is still one of the best addresses in Copenhagen. Even after being renovated by Yasmine Mahmoudieh, all rooms still feature Jacobsen chairs and fixtures. The famous Jacobsen figurines of the swan, egg, drop and giraffe were designed especially for this hotel. The restaurants and bars were redesigned in the spirit of Jacobsen. The Italian restaurant Alberto K. is located on the 20th floor and offers a magnificent view. -
71 Nyhavn Hotel
Top viewThe Nyhavn is the place to meet up for a coffee or beer. Tourists are bustling around, the boats are docking and there's always something happening on the canals. The 71 Nyhavn Hotel is set inside an old warehouse. The hotel features 150 rooms, nearly all of which boast a view to the water. Guests could actually go without the television. Within the rooms, old wooden beams harken back to the earlier function of the building and the simple furnishings are a wonderful match. -
First Hotel Twentyseven
Design and centralThe free evening buffet is a speciality of the centrally located Twentyseven. Another one is the self-serve Wine Room which uses your chip card to operate. The cocktail lounge looks like the showroom at a Scandinavian furniture store. Make sure to pack a few extra sets of clothing for the icebar. Every inch of the Twentyseven is stylish. -
Copenhagen Strand Hotel
MaritimThis three-star hotel is located in a lovingly restored historical building. It is situated quite centrally just a stone's throw from the City Safari, Nyhavn and Amalienborg Palace. The Strøget shopping district is right around the corner. The rooms are comfortable, elegant and cosy, with a maritime touch given them particular charm. The view over the harbour is great. -
Hotel D'Angleterre
5-star hotelThe D'Angleterre has been Denmark's most splendid hotel for more than 250 years with numerous events of national import taking place within its walls. So much fame can be wearying, but the white façade facing the Kongens Nytorv, one of the most beautiful squares in the city, still gleams like always, drawing in the stars and dignitaries who prefer to stay here. Excellente service, fresh flowers in the rooms, well-informed concierges – such things are a given in this hotel. -
Bertrams Hotel Guldsmeden
An oasis of comfortThis bright wellness hotel is located in the middle of the lively Vesterbro district. Atypical for Copenhagen, it's not Scandinavian in style but rather Asian. All rooms have a canopy bed and many feature a balcony. The lovely wooden floors invite guests to go around barefoot. Guests here wear kimonos instead of robes and swap luxury for nonchalance and a DVD player. When the morning weather allows, you can enjoy your organic muesli in the tranquil back garden.

My boys love these! I have 3 very different dogs (two of which tear every toy ever made to shreds within seconds of purchase). These seem to appeal to all three and are pretty durable so far. One has fallen prey to the youngest but he hasn't even tried to destroy the other two! He carries them around like babies and whines when they squeak. The other two just love to run around tossing them and chasing them throughout the house!
The new long toys I ordered have become khloes new favorites!!
