Date Night: Cozy Cocktails at The Gibson, DC
Our fabulous resident DC couple, Tom and Kacy, are back for Date Night – this time, they filled in at one of our favorite cocktail bars in the city. Check out what they thought of the new menu at The Gibson, debuting tomorrow, November 4th!
The crackle of a slow burning fire drew us in as we stepped out onto The Gibson's back patio for a sneak peek of their new fall cocktail lineup. One of DC's most notorious speakeasies and one of our favorite date night spots in the the city, the Gibson is reinventing fall and winter drinking with their cozy outdoor space and seasonal beverages.
Tom and I have spent many nights at The Gibson watching the talented mixologists behind the bar creating their masterpieces and this night was no exception. The fall cocktail menu is vast, with something for everyone. I am typically not able to tolerate strong cocktails, but found almost every concoction delightfully palatable in its own way. That's just the magic of The Gibson.
Just as magical is hearing the thoughtful, and often hilarious, back stories behind each creation. The bartenders at The Gibson are truly artists and use their life experiences to come up with unique and inventive concoctions unlike anything you've ever sipped before. Recent heartbreaks, favorite songs and evocative memories are all fair game to serve as inspiration for both drink names and the painstaking recipes.
We especially enjoyed the light and refreshing Growing Pains cocktail made with Pig's Nose scotch, rose water and Elliot Ness lager. The Man I Forgot I Loved combined both Tom and my favorite spirits, gin and bourbon, a no-doubt strong but somehow very smooth libation that is certainly capable of helping you forget your troubles.
Perhaps the most surprising hit for us was the Company of Strangers, a smoky mixture of Vida Mezcal, white cacao and bitters. I almost didn't try it based on my pre-conceived notions of mezcal, but one sip and I was hooked. The white cacao pulled all of the smoky and bitter elements together with a velvety touch.
If I had to pick a favorite it would be The Cat's Meow, a cheeky blend of red wine, rum, vanilla, lime and champagne. A wine lover at heart, this cocktail was right up my alley and is light enough that you can have seconds without hitting the floor.
All of these beautiful drinks taste even better on the new and improved back patio, which will remain open all throughout fall and winter (unless there are extreme weather conditions). Bartenders will also be serving up a menu of drinks exclusive to the patio that includes hot toddies, milkshakes, ciders and classics.
If nothing quite catches your eye, feel free to have it your own way with the "Omakase" menu where you and your bartender work together to create exactly the cocktail you want. This option, offered only in the upstairs space, revolves around a checklist where guests can choose their base liquor and flavor profile so that a mixologist can craft a cocktail specific to individual tastes. Based on the number of times I've told my bartender at The Gibson to make me "something with gin, not too sweet but also not boring" and gotten the perfect drink in return, I can guarantee you'll find something to satisfy you with this new option.
So grab a date, don your coziest outfit and prepare for an unforgettable night – as long as you don't have one too many.
The Gibson's fall and winter cocktail menu debuts Friday, November 4th. Reservations are encouraged.
After reading Kacy's experience with the new menu, Scott and I can't wait to get back to DC to stop in and experience it for ourselves. Tell us, have you been? Or is there another cocktail bar you recommend as well?
Make sure to visit Kacy's blog, Bad Sentences, and follow her on Twitter and Instagram as well!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Equipment' started by HighTechCoonass, Oct 27, 2007.
Form follows function.I'm diggin it with a spoon.
My old gps mount. It had a hole underneath for powering.
Worked great in two big trips, but i hadn't the opportunity to improve it by making it a bit smaller.
Now i use a chinese plastic one, because in Spain homemade items are really forbidden (and in EU mostly).
I made this camera mount too, but i used it only once.
Now i bought a 808#16 camera which doesn't need anything but good velcro.
^ ^ ^ I like it!
Wait... what? :huh
By what law?
Everything you mount to a bike?
Do you need a description/certification in your bikepapers?
In Germany even you changed the brand /type of your tires you have to change vehicle documents at the inspectation station.
So companies deliver a certification certificat with the article you bought for your type of bike.
Is it it Spain also?
Here, everything you mount on the bike (or car) must be, as minimum, EC approved. So you can't make any "improvement" to the bike on your own and you must buy something on the market for that purpose (givi, touratech, etc).
My chinese mount isn't EC approved, but is more disguised than my homemade toy, and it only costed 4 in ebay. I'm out law, but i decreased probabilities of the police noticing it.
Some things, as fog lights or simply changing the seat, need a project made by an engineer to be approved in the papers of the bike (or car), which cost about 200 minimum. Associations of Engineers are very strong in Spain, and they made it to f?ck us all.
Other things as luggage racks, or mirrors only need a certification from the maker telling that they can be used in your bike.
The tires have no problem at all while you respect the characteristics written in the documents of the bike: 180-55/17 ZR 73W, for example, so you can mount any brand.
Screw that noise. I'm glad I don't live there :/
Sent from my iPhone
yeah, but most of the folks in Spain now how to drive, so I guess there are tradeoffs to be made.
A small contribution. Rather ratty than crafted.
Several lids of tin cans stacked, held together by ducttape.
The cord is threated with oil and lightly coated with wax.
Made for life.
Here seen in action:
And where it really mattered:
I find I'm less likely to lose/forget about a sidestand foot when it is firmly attached to the side stand.
and after a coat of paint...
Kudos. Classy and professional.
I guess I simply lack the patience and determination for that level.
Anyhow I'm not afraid of forgetting to untether the horse.
Trained in navigation and map reading I love this gps. It is a perfect companion on the bike as on foot.
After all what more does one need but a heading and a distance? To find a way towards the goal is half the adventure.
Got a problem: find the best place on the bullet. First was simple:
Cons: out of line of sight and gets wet. Device can take it but drops hinder readability.
See if this idea is viable:
Yep, now if I had a leftover of some job on the stairs...
et voilà:
Has been tested in the rain. Not a drop gets to it, provided we keep moving.
I wouldn't have it otherwise.
Hockey puck.
Freebie courtesy of the Geico people at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach last year. Slightly modified to fit. I grabbed a heap of 'em so if this one breaks I have plenty more to replace it!
Sweet build here!
Just ordered a puck off Ebay for 3.99, you are my hero!!!!!
Finally got my rack system finished up, sort of. Gotta clean it up a bit and paint it but this is pretty much it. I'm pleased with how it turned out for being made with scrap metal and put together hastily with my mig welder. I could've been patient and taken it and tig'd it up but I'm not good with patience.
I decided to replace my soft tail pack that was my camp cooking kit with a larger Pelican case. I wanted to be able to remove it easily so the entire kit could be carried to where ever it was needed, or be quickly removed when not needed/wanted on the bike.
I have the Touratech stainless luggage plate which has a large tube frame on the edges. I fabricated a mounting system that takes advantage of that and the plates trapezoid shape. Basically, two side blocks that wedge tight on the sides and a third on the back with a securing plate to hold it on. Just two thumb screws to remove it. I used a plastic cutting board cut to fit the bottom of the case to add stiffness and to fill the gap between the case and luggage plate. I rabbeted the edges so it fits flush to the bottom of the case and allows the mounting blocks to fit flush as well.

Ever since I broke up with my girlfriend of three years back in January, I can't find a new girlfriend (I'm a relationship kinda guy). All the girls that have hit on me are either a) party freaks (the hook up girls) b) cute, awesome, smart, funny (everything a guy could want) but have freaking boyfriends! or c) not interested in me.
So wtf is wrong? Is anyone else going through this situation?
Most Helpful Guy
Look at it this way: women are hitting on you, they're clearly interested...90% of the guys on this board would kill to be in your shoes just for that. It's only a matter of time before you encounter a girl you're attracted to, who's both single and you're interested in also.11|00|0

Nowadays, with the development of the technology, most of the players and hand phones also have the functions to record. However, they can not replace the record player in some special cases. On the market, you can find out a lot of kinds of the recorders with the different models as well as prices. Do you know how to choose it? In this article, I will list some important features to buy the best record players. I think that you will have more knowledge about this product after referring to this writing. Actually, to choosing a record player will also depend on your personal hobby and your needs. Normally, you will have two popular choices including the belt drive and the direct drive player. In addition, some record players are specifically designed for the DJs. So you have a lot of the options for this tool. Of course, each player will have some different features. These elements often decide the price and the quality of the record player.
Some Important Features to Choose the Best Record Player
- The First Feature: The Belt Drive
- The Second Feature: The Working Ability
- Firstly, you only need place the disc on the platter.
- Then, you press the power button.
- After that, the tone- arm will lift itself and transfer to the record.
- Next, the tone-arm will lower on the record automatically.
- Finally, when finishing the recording, the tone-arm returns to the resting situation. At this time, your device will turn off automatically, too.
- The Feature Three: USB plug location
- The Feature Four: Recording Capability
Some Notes before Deciding the Record Player
- To avoid wasting time, you should clearly know your budget to buy the record player because there are a lot of products with the different price. And sometimes they differ significantly. A record player has the best quality you have to spend a lot of money for it;
- You must understand your demand;
- You should research the information about this product before going to record player shop.


text: difficult child is coming home tomorrow from the hospital. We will pick him up after work. Please think good thoughts and cross body parts that all goes well. It sounds like we will be getting some good services. Someone will be coming into the home to work with difficult child (I don't know how often). They will do some Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) and also help him with things like getting him to do hw, shower, chores, etc... I'm not sure exactly because I haven't talked to the person yet but difficult child's case manager seems to think this is a really good fit for difficult child. He also will probably be working with another program for counseling and groups-not sure yet about that either as the person I was suppose to meet with had to cancel because of car trouble. There is another program that involves martial arts that might also be an option for difficult child. The program he gets to continue with for 3 months will also pay for some summer camps which should allow us to save some of our flex spending for respite. We will also get to go on a waiting list that is about 18 months longs that helps provide respite and although that is a long wait the services go until he is 22. In addition, he will get to interview for the 1/2 day day-treatment program and then hopefully get on the waiting list for that. All in all, we have a lot of possibilities, I hope some come to fruition and can be services that really help difficult child. I do wish we had some of these in place right now for when he comes home.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here, with a sweet Spring Card that I created by painting with Crafter's ink. It's so easy to color die cut images with Ann Butler's Crafter's Inks because the ink is quite fluid and you can use a water brush to pick up the color and add it where you need it.
Let's get started Painting with Crafter's Ink!
Step 1:
I began by die cutting the birdhouses from white card stock two times.
Step 2:
I cut apart the dies, knowing I wanted the birdhouses to be different colors and I wanted the grass to be two toned. So, I used a water brush and added color to the dies with Crafter's ink in Limelight, Deep Woods, Tangelo, Sunshine, Blueberry and Desert Sand. Since I planned to reassemble the dies, I wasn't too concerned about over coloring on the base layer. I allowed the layers to dry, then I reassembled the design.
Step 3:
I wanted to keep the background simple, so I used a water brush with Blueberry Ink to lightly added the color directly on the card. I wanted a white washed effect so I used more water than ink. I did the same with Deep Woods Ink along the bottom of the card. Finally I used Blueberry Ink to ink around the edges of the card. Once the card dried, I then added the reassembled birdhouse die to the card.
Step 4:
As a final decorative element, and dimension I added dew drops to some of the flowers.

Message from the President
As part of our ongoing commitment to elevating the view of the child and supporting educators who want to deepen their understanding of Reggio Emilia's approach to education, the Ontario Reggio Association hosted The Wonder of Learning: The Hundred Languages of Children exhibit from June 23 – November 13, 2016. We welcomed over 7,000 visitors not only from across Ontario, but from across North America and countries around the world. There were several professional learning events associated with the exhibit, focusing on the view of the child, pedagogical documentation and the hundred languages of children. There were also sessions specifically designed for Indigenous educators and francophone educators. An atelier of food was also featured. The opening and closing conferences centred around educators from Reggio Emilia and the meaning we are making of the work. Our relationship with the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance has deepened through this experience. An outstanding team of volunteers pitched in to make this immense undertaking possible. Now, we want to blow on the embers, so the inspiration of the exhibit continues to have impact. We encourage you to become a member of the Ontario Reggio Association, to participate in upcoming events, to form and/or participate in community study groups, to engage in creating pedagogical documentation and critical reflection on what it means to see children as competent, as citizens with rights.

Certain elements of 2nd period show similarity with their diagonal elements in the 3rd period as shown below:
Thus, Li resembles Mg, Be resembles Al and B resembles Si. This is called diagonal relationship and is due to the reason that these pairs of element have almost identical ionic radii and polarizing power (i.e. charge/size ratio). Element of second period are known as bridge elements.
Anomalous behavior of the first elements of a group: The first element of a group differs considerably from its congeners (i.e. the rest of the element of its group). This is due to (i) small size (ii) high electronegativity and (iii) non availability of d-orbitals for bonding. Anomalous behaviour is observed among the second row elements (i.e. Li to F).
Transtutors is the best place to get answers to all your doubts regarding diagonal relationship, anomalous behavior of first element of a group with examples. You can submit your school, college or university level homework or assignment to us and we will make sure that you get the answers you need which are timely and also cost effective.

A spinsterish college professor (Loretta Young) finds herself in jeopardy after killing an amorous student in self-defense. As the noose tightens around her, both the victim's guardian (Robert Cummings) and a dogged homicide detective (Wendell Corey) begin to fall for her - apparently being a killer makes her irresistible to men. The provocative script gives a decidedly feminine slant to a classic noir premise. Presented in a gorgeously restored print, giving new life to a neglected classic of the genre.

New Auto Company Gets Former GM Plant in Louisiana
By Brendan Moore
A new auto manufacturer has decided to build their new environmentally-friendly car in a former GM plant in Monroe, Louisiana. The company, supported by the millions (billions?) of T. Boone Pickens and employing Tom Matano, the former head of design at Mazda, is expected to employ about 1400 workers at the plant.
Louisiana state and local parish (no counties in Louisiana) officials have assembled an incentive package worth about $67 million, which will expand and revamp the factory. Federal assistance will come in the form of the U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration's contribution of as much as $5 million for rail and infrastructure improvements. The new company also has applied for engineering and manufacturing loans under the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program.
The company is named V-Vehicle Company and is headquartered in San Diego, CA. V-Vehicle. The founder and CEO of V-Vehicle is Frank Varasano. The company is backed by investors that include the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers and James Davison, of Ruston, La.
And who is James Davison, you might ask? Davison is the owner of the plant, whose most recent tenant was auto lighting supplier Guide Corp. before it went out of business in 2007 when fierce global competition, high legacy costs and a lack of funding to develop capital-intensive modern lighting systems..
V-Vehicle released a statement to the press that stated "VVC will produce a high-quality, environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient car for the U.S. market. The goal of the company is to provide the American buyer greater product value and a superior automotive experience."
VVC says it will have a production vehicle in 15 months. If true, this a very short time frame, and would suggest that VVC has an existing vehicle in mind. It's not much of a leap to suggest that an existing vehicle would be converted to run on natural gas. T Boone Pickens is an active and highly visible advocate of natural gas, paying for television commercials, magazine ads, etc, and has given many interviews in which he expounded on the virtues of natural gas. In countries outside the US, many vehicles run on natural gas and the governments support that alternative energy fuel with tax breaks.
Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Almost all of the people in charge have no experience in the auto industry, but they have extremely high hopes for the company.There is no pricing or performance data available on the planned vehicle at this point, nor is there word on styling, size, etc.
Here is the official press release:
06/17/2009 New American Car Company Will Make History in Louisiana
V-Vehicle Company selects Monroe, La., to begin assembling new automobiles and create 1,400 jobs
Today, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret joined executives from V-Vehicle Company, or VVC, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, or KPCB, partners, local businessmen and local officials to publicly announce that VVC, a new American car company headquartered in San Diego, will begin assembling cars in Monroe, La. The project will create over 1,400 direct jobs at an average annual salary of nearly $40,000, plus benefits, as well as a capital investment of at least $248 million.
Participants at the announcement included Gov. Jindal; LED Secretary Stephen Moret; VVC Founder and CEO Frank Varasano; VVC Vice President Horst Metz; VVC Director of Design Tom Matano; KPCB Managing Partner and VVC board member John Doerr; KPCB Managing Partner and VVC board Chairman Ray Lane; Guideco Properties LLC Owner James Davison; U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander; Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo; West Monroe Mayor David Norris; Ouachita Police Jury President Shane Smiley; and Ouachita Economic Development Land Corp. President Ben Peters.
Gov. Jindal said, "What we are here to officially announce today is not a typical economic development project. Most business recruitment projects for the state involve large, long-established companies building another plant similar to one they already have – similar to facilities that other companies in their industry already have. Those are great projects and we appreciate the jobs they provide, but today's announcement is different.
"Today, we are here to announce that through quick, aggressive action to pursue a transformative opportunity, we have a chance here in Louisiana to re-energize the entire U.S. auto industry. Indeed, this project also has the potential to transform the entire Monroe area, and this project could be a game changer for the economy of Northeast Louisiana.
"Some might argue that we should only invest in companies that want to build the same factory they already have here in our state, but every once in a while, we are presented with an opportunity to throw long – to move the ball down the field in a major way with a single transformational project.
"This is that kind of project we are here to announce today, and for that reason we were willing to pursue an extraordinarily aggressive approach to not only invest in a major economic expansion for the people of Northeast Louisiana, but also a transformational project for the U.S. automotive industry.
"By deciding to help re-energize and reinvent the American auto industry in Louisiana, V-Vehicle is helping create a brighter future for Northeast Louisiana, our entire state, and we hope soon, our entire country."
"The thing that excites me the most about V-Vehicle Company is that it is a holistic change," said Lane. "We're thinking about, from beginning to end, how to reconstruct a car company. The V-Vehicle Company has the opportunity to change the automotive business in the United States."
"I am delighted to see our vision for a new American car company coming to life here in Monroe, La.," said Varasano. "We've designed and engineered this car from start to finish to give the U.S. consumer a quality car with great value made right here in America."
VVC will produce a high quality, environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient car for the U.S. market. The goal of the company is to provide the American car buyer greater product value and a superior automotive experience.
Matano, whose Mazda Miata design was recently recognized by BusinessWeek as the most iconic car of the last 25 years said that "this car will be another icon of American industry. Miata was recognized as the iconic car of the last 25 years; this will be the iconic car of the next 25. Not many designers have the opportunity to work on such a project, so I'm really excited that I have an opportunity to do another one."
VVC will assemble the cars at the former Guide Corp. plant in Ouachita Parish, which has been closed for years. The 425,000-square-foot plant currently occupies 189 acres of land; this project will increase the size of the facility to approximately 750,000 square feet.
"The Monroe facility was chosen because it has the ideal infrastructure for this type of industry, combined with the strong work ethic of the people of North Louisiana," said Davison, who owns the facility.
Economic Impact
An economic-impact analysis by LSU suggests that the VVC facility will provide an injection of over $19.6 billion in new state economic output from 2010 to 2024.
LSU estimates that the 1,400 direct, new on-site jobs will create 1,800 indirect jobs for a total of 3,200 new jobs in Louisiana. Accordingly, VVC will become one of Louisiana's top 30 economic-driver firms based on direct and indirect job impact.
LED engaged A.T. Kearney Inc., a leading global management consulting firm with a large automotive industry practice, to assess the market and economic viability of VVC's planned operations in Monroe. A.T. Kearney concluded that VVC has a compelling business model, an impressive leadership team, a strong supplier base and financial projections for the Guide facility that are reasonable and achievable.
State and local officials assembled a customized incentive package to help secure the project. If all performance requirements are met, VVC will receive a state incentive package worth approximately $67 million, which will fund improvements to and expansion of the facility. In addition, Louisiana FastStartTM will provide, at no cost to the company, customized workforce recruitment, screening and training for VVC and its on-site suppliers. LSU estimates that VVC and its on-site suppliers will generate more than $131 million in new state tax revenue over the first 15 years of the project.
"VVC has the potential to re-energize the American auto industry, and they are going to accomplish that starting from a manufacturing base in Louisiana," said Moret. "This announcement, backed by some of our country's most visionary and successful businessmen, will have a lasting impact on Northeast Louisiana and our state for many years to come. And it sends a clear message that Louisiana is a new frontier for business opportunity."
The city of Monroe, Ouachita Parish, city of West Monroe, Ouachita Economic Development Land Corp. and I-20 Economic Development Corp., collectively, have committed $15 million to the project for improvements to and expansion of the Guide facility. LSU estimates that VVC and its on-site suppliers will generate $36 million in new local tax revenues over the first 15 years of the project.
"I want to thank the governor and Louisiana Economic Development for their hard work in bringing this project to Northeast Louisiana," said Norris. "Being selected for an investment of this magnitude says something very positive about our community and our state."
"Both the state of Louisiana and the local Ouachita Parish community have seized upon a wonderful opportunity, which would not have been possible without the superb cooperation of all parties involved," said Peters.
The U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration is expected to contribute up to $5 million for rail and infrastructure improvements. VVC also has applied for engineering and manufacturing loans under the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program, a $25 billion loan program established by Congress in 2007 and administered by the U.S. Department of Energy to spur innovation in automobile technology.
Site Selection Competition
Starting in August 2008, KPMG carried out the site selection process for VVC. According to VVC, Louisiana was selected after KPMG and the company evaluated approximately 400 potential sites in 10 different states. Critical site selection criteria included quality of the labor pool, availability of customized workforce training programs, characteristics of available sites and facilities, business taxes, electricity costs and financial incentives.
Varasano noted that, "In the end, there were several states that met our criteria and had very large incentive packages. In fact, Louisiana did not have the largest incentive package. It was the people from Louisiana – not just the leaders that we had met, that we were working with – and the conviction that because of incentives like the Louisiana FastStart program, we could identify and train people that will ultimately determine a large part of our success. It was the conviction that Louisiana could provide this workforce that sealed the deal."
To strengthen Monroe's competitive position, state leaders expect to use new and enhanced economic development programs recently funded by Gov. Jindal and the Legislature. First, Louisiana FastStart, a new turnkey workforce solution for new or expanding companies, engendered confidence that qualified employees can be recruited and trained quickly enough to meet VVC's aggressive launch schedule. Second, recent increases to the Mega Project Development Fund enabled the state to provide a competitive incentive offer.
Private sector investors include the Silicon Valley venture capital firm KPCB, T. Boone Pickens and James Davison, among others.
KPCB has invested in entrepreneurs and new companies that have gone on to redefine and revolutionize their industries. The venture capital firm has provided pre-initial public offering funding to leading Internet companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, digital media companies, software developers, electronics manufacturers and data storage providers, such as Google, Amazon.com, Genentech, Electronic Arts, Intel, Compaq and Sun Microsystems.
Referencing other KPCB investments, Doerr said, "These companies that we've been privileged to work with and to help grow – the Genentechs, the Compaqs, the Sun Microsystems, the Amazons, the Googles, the Intuits with Quicken – they've all created tens of thousands, and in some cases hundreds of thousands, of jobs. I think that V-Vehicle Company has all the potential that any of those companies have."
T. Boone Pickens is a successful businessman who has invested in the energy industry since founding Mesa Petroleum in 1956. Recently, he has invested in a proposal to reinvent U.S. energy resources by promoting oil alternatives, such as natural gas, wind power and solar energy.
Ruston, La., businessman James Davison is the owner of the former Guide Corp. plant.

One of my stay-at-home guilty pleasures these days are those detective-mystery series currently flooding the PBS prime-time airwaves. Based on popular crime novels featuring quirky murder-solving characters, these television shows typically originate in the United Kingdom and then make their way to America a few years later. There's Sherlock, of course—a highly contemporized adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle detective stories that has become immensely popular on both sides of the pond—and over the summer I became addicted to two others: Grantchester (based on mystery stories, by James Runcie, about a clergyman in 1950s England who sleuths in his spare time) and Midsomer Murders (set in the English county of Midsomer, where upscale Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby solves crimes in adaptations of Caroline Graham novels).

On March 16, 1991, two weeks after the tape of Rodney King's brutal beating by Los Angeles police went public, a 15-year-old African American girl named Latasha Harlins walked into an L.A. market to buy orange juice. As she approached the counter, she put the juice in her backpack with one hand while holding money in the other.
Fuzzy security footage shows how their failed transaction ends: Harlins picks up the orange juice, which has fallen on the floor, and places it on the counter. She turns to walk away. But before she can get three feet she suddenly crumples to the ground, because the shopkeeper has pulled out a shotgun and fired it into her back.
With its noirish murder mystery miniseries The Night Of, HBO has introduced yet another innovation bound to alter people's TV-watching habits. The show officially premiered on Sunday, July 10, but the cable network made the first episode (of eight) available to subscribers through HBO On Demand and its online HBOGO service more than two weeks earlier.
It's hard to say exactly what the title of Maria Bamford's new Netflix series is meant to signify. It could be Bamford's manic depression—her sense that, at any moment, everything in her life could explode. It could be her fear, common among introverts, that if she doesn't please everyone around her, her fragile relationships might come crashing down like a demolished building. Or it could be the fact that Bamford, who has toiled in C-list obscurity for years, is finally, at long last, blowing up.
When Alex Haley set out to write Roots, he spent seven years searching for the name of the ship that brought his ancestor, Kunta Kinte, from Gambia to Annapolis in the 1760s. He traveled to Africa and met with griots—oral storytellers trained to recite the history of their village—who recounted detailed genealogies of the previous two centuries. Corroborating these accounts with British military logs, Haley was able to narrow Kunta's abduction to 1767, and the ship to the Lord Ligonier, bound for Annapolis in July of that year. It is here that Roots begins.
Satire has long provided relief from the turbulent waters of politics (at least in countries where satire is legal). This is why The Onion has dominated print humor for almost three decades, and why Jon Stewart achieved so much success during those eight long years of President George W. Bush. On HBO's Veep, Selina Meyer serves as an especially welcome ambassador of this brand of comedy, now that Stewart is in New Jersey rescuing dogs, and the American presidential election fills newsfeeds with satire-ready fodder on the daily.
When the Army-McCarthy hearings convened, on April 22, 1954, Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) was one of the most powerful and feared men in the United States. He had charged the military with "coddling Communists" within its ranks, while the Army countered that Roy Cohn, McCarthy's chief aide, had threatened to "wreck" it. The battle was televised live across the country—a first for the new medium.

Find info concerning Sinclair Community College basketball stars, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches spend a lot of their time at summer sports camps evaluating athletes, and offering tips and direction. This is a great chance to meet the coaching staff in a relaxed setting. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Sinclair Community College Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Sinclair Community College.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. University of Bridgeport club soccer may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Sinclair Community College basketball stars, you may think about CU Boulder evening classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

It's a great day for baseball this Tuesday, and there are a number of great online sports betting choices for baseball fans today at one or a few of the best online sportsbooks reviewed here at CasinoReview.org. Getting started right away, there are a few great series ongoing this week, and tonight should be a perfect night to catch at least one of the games, and hopefully make some good choices betting on the contests at hand. For featured wagers to kick off the action today amongst the 15 games taking place, two games of choice for the evening will include watching the San Francisco Giants travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies, as well as the Boston Red Sox hosting the LA Angels. It's Barry Zito vs. Roy Oswalt in the first featured matchup, and Clay Buchholz vs. Jered Weaver in the second and with a trip to Sportsbook.com for today's online sports betting (read the review of sportsbook.com), you can be sure to find these two games, and plenty of other betting chances at their website.
In other great baseball action featured on Tuesday, the excitement in the American League refuses to end as the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees battle it out this week to try and gain ground in their respective divisions. It's C.C. Sabathia vs. Justin Verlander in this one, and without A-Rod, the Yanks will have to rely on, well, the rest of the best in the entire game to pull them through. We'll have to stick with the hot hand of Sabathia here, but a low scoring game could well be in order as well for online sports betting options. Elsewhere, Matt Garza has been on fire for the Tampa Bay Rays, and faces Texas and Tommy Hunter in a great pitchers' duel, the Minnesota Twins continue to try and pull away from Chicago, using home field advantage and better pitching to try and prevail in the series against the White Sox this week, and we'll finally take the Seattle Mariners against the Orioles, as Kevin Milwood can't win a ball game to save his career this season.
I'm throwing together a few parlay wagers and a few single bets for tonight's online sports betting, and with more action ahead each and every day, you can always find some great chances to earn a little extra cash, all the while enjoying the run up to the postseason. Also, make sure to take a look into a few of the NFL preseason games coming up on Thursday, as even though they persist in being tough calls for sports betting, it's always a treat to see what's in store in just a few weeks, as the NFL regular season comes tangibly close to starting. At any rate, enjoy the great action this evening, and check out our top sportsbooks soon to find the best match-ups, odds, and selection for betting on sports today!

Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF)
an eclipse runtime project
New and Noteworthy
3.12.1 Release
Return to ECF download page
New and Noteworthy for 3.11.0/Mars
New and Noteworthy for 3.12.0
Remote Management for OSGi Runtimes and Eclipse
At the ECF Github organization, we've created OSGi Remote Services allow remote monitoring and management of any OSGi container (e.g. Eclipse, Equinox, Karaf, Concierge, others). The repository containing the service APIs, implementations, and tooling for Remote Management are here. Each management service is declared and implemented in separate bundles, so that only relevant services may be installed and used in appropriate environments. For example, if Karaf server environments the OSGi management services would be completely appropriate, and the Eclipse-specific services listed below would not be needed.
Each of the above services also has an async proxy service interface (e.g. IServiceManagerAsync), allowing the remote service to be accessed via a non-blockingasync proxy created automatically for the service by ECF's Remote Services implementation. Host implementations of each of these services are also available in corresponding host bundles.
Also included in the OSGi Remote Management repository are Eclipse plugins to expose a running Eclipse as a host for remote management, or to use Eclipse views as a consumer to manage a remote host. For example, here is a new Eclipse Preferences user interface for exporting a Service Manager and an RSA Manager remote services:
Once exported, then on Eclipse consumers where the service can be discovered (e.g. on same LAN), a Remote OSGi Service view and a Remote RSA Manager views may be displayed, showing the remote host's currently Exported remote services (above) and the remote host's currently running OSGi services.
A P2 Repo containing the Remote Management API, Eclipse Remote Management Host and Eclipse Remote Management Consumer along with the Remote OSGi Services, and Remote RSA Manager views shown above can be found here. The P2 Repo containing the 5 Remote Management Features can be accessed directly or via the zip.
Enhanced Remote Services/Remote Service Admin Tooling
In ECF 3.10.0/Mars a Remote Services Perspective was introduced. This perspective included an Endpoint Discovery View allowing endpoints to be discovered (via network discovery and/or xml/EDEF-file-based discovery), examined, and imported for use as a remote service.
In this release, there's a new Remote Service Admin (RSA) manager view. This view presents the Exported Services and Imported Endpoints for the RSA running within Eclipse, allowing the programmer to examine and manipulate exported services and imported endpoints. This tooling may be used to test and debug ECF Remote Services by monitoring and managing the remote services export, discovery, and import.
For example, here is a screenshot showing an endpoint that has been exported and published for by a remote host (e.g. by a Karaf-based host), and then discovered via the Zeroconf protocol (presented in the Endpoint Discovery View)
The user can select this Discovered Endpoint, open the context menu, and select the 'Import Remote Service' menu. The selected Endpoint will then be imported, and the Imported Endpoint will appear in the RSA Manager view.
Note that the imported endpoint (the remote service proxy) is also presented in the OSGi Services View, and the properties associated with the selected mported endpoint are presented in the properties view.
The Imported Endpoints presented in the RSA Manager view can be Unimported (again via context menu). As well, if remote service hosts are exported, they will appear under the Exported Services group in the RSA Manager, and can also be unexported via the RSA Manager context menu.
Remote Services Distribution Provider API
Remote Services distribution providers are responsible for implementing the remote method call...i.e. the serialization of parameters and return values, and the communications protocol used to communicate between the caller and the remote service. caller.
ECF's Remote Services implementation allows the use of custom or alternative distribution providers. Allows ECF's Remote Services implementation to be used with any desired serialization mechanism and any suitable communications protocol.
For easy creation of distribution providers, we've added a new IRemoteServiceDistributionProvider interface so that a distribution provider may be registered for use via the OSGi whiteboard pattern. Here is the org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.provider package.
For example, here is a distribution provider implemented using Jersey Jax-RS REST framework. A single instance of this class is registered via Declarative Services and any remote services using the 'ecf.jaxrs.jersey.server' config type will use Jersey as the distribution mechanism. See the examples in the JaxRSProviders repo for complete examples of using this provider.
New Distribution Providers and Distribution Provider documentation
Using the remote services distribution provider API above, several new distribution providers have been created:

She takes photographs of powerful men involved in sex acts in order to blackmail them. Aron's discovery that Cathy is his mother shatters him and spurs the chain of events that leads to his death. Cathy represents Eve in the Cain and Abel story of the novel, introducing sin and evil into the world. She commits suicide after enduring Aron's response to her.
Lee - Adam Trask's dutiful cook and housekeeper,
Abra Bacon - The daughter of the corrupt county supervisor in Salinas
Mr. Edwards - A man who runs a prostitution ring throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. he beats her nearly to death, and she crawls away to the nearest farm—that owned by Charles and Adam Trask.
Faye - The madam at the Salinas whorehouse where Cathy works as a prostitute. Cathy poisons Faye gradually, and after Faye finally dies, takes over the brothel.
Ethel - A prostitute at Faye's brothel who obtains proof that Cathy murdered Faye. Ethel tries to blackmail Cathy for a payment of $100 each month but is later discovered to have drowned.
Joe Valery - An escaped convict who is employed as a bouncer at Cathy's brothel.
The narrator tells the story in the third person switching the view over MANY diff charicters through out the book.
John Steinbeck writes a great book sibling rivalry as he examines what we become vs. what we may become. The Biblical tale of Cain and Abel sets the tone as we are introduced to two sets of brothers. Each tries to win the love of his father in different ways. The story of why one brother succeeds while another feels unloved is beautifully told.
Adam Trask, from the first set of brothers, repeats his own story with his sons, the twins Aron and Caleb. The enduring themes of light vs. dark, good vs. evil, hatred vs. love, and always the free will, the ability to choose one's own destiny.
Cathy, the whore with a heart of stone, has to be one of the most evil characters in this book. She kills her parents, beds her husband's brother on her wedding night, shoots her husband and desserts her infant sons. And, all this before she turns really bad! Truly a character that is like pure evil but she keeps you interested in the book. On the other hand there are the wonderful characters of Samuel and Lee, men you will remember for their smarts, caring, and niceness. And there is Adam, a weird man until his re-birth and spectacular failure finds him caught in a web of good and evil that he struggles with.through out the whole story
I found out that John Steinbeck put himself into the novel, as Samuel Hamilton is based on his own grandfather. The entire Hamilton clan is one that represents the true "salt of the earth"

With the pardon of notorious pirate Henry Morgan by the English King, Caribbean pirates are offered amnesty if they give up their lawless ways. As governor of Jamaica, Morgan picks Captain Jamie Waring to round up the renegade captain Billy Leech. Beautiful Margaret Denby complicates matters for Waring, as her scorn for him is matched only by his love for her.
A visually beautiful movie set on the high seas. An interesting storyline steeped in history. A formidable cast that breathe life into this seafaring lot. Maureen O'Hara is stunning in period costumes and is absolutely stunning as Margaret Denby. The crew will embark on an adventure that will change everyone's lives. When all is said and done, who will they be able to trust?

Outdated dogma spreads disease
AS he pontificates on the spread of AIDS, Kevin Myers appears to feel justified in equating the Catholic Church's moral guidelines opposing the distribution of condoms with the vital decriminalisation of homosexuality in the US (Irish Independent, September 21).
From the time when homosexuality was commonly believed to be a sin, a moral flaw, a disease even, to the empowering gay-rights movement of the 1960s, the AIDS epidemic is one chapter in a long and ongoing history of a minority community who dared to face bigotry head on and rise above it.
Sorry to burst your bubble Mr Myers, but sexual relations between men did not begin with decriminalisation.

Faulkner 83
Faulkner 83 (2014)
12.5" x 12.5" x 5.25"
A 3-D printout of all of William Faulkner's online works uses pie chart segmentation to illustrate that 83% of the Dictionary of American Regional English headwords that he incorporated were labeled as Southern (see some examples here). A portrait of the iconic Southern author is superimposed on the book.
Carrie: A portrait, a book of Faulkner's works, a pie chart, and the process—a testament to the necessity of humans as editors. Special thanks to Markus Broecker for the math and programming magic that made the image possible in this piece.
Julie: Though this piece is a tangible result of a method to determine the "Southernness" of Faulkner's texts, it also speaks volumes about the artifice of attempting to do so. We can safely say that 83% of all DARE headwords Faulkner used are attributed to Southern regions, but limitations of the method prevented us from drawing further conclusions. Spelling and pronunciation variants of standard words, plurals, past-tense forms, and the like that are included within a DARE entry—but are not an exact match with the headword—are missing from the search results. We also can't confirm that all 83% of the hits are for the intended Southern sense of the word without using contextual clues and referring to DARE entries. Therefore, using DARE for text analyses requires careful thought and a working understanding of how DARE entries are structured. We can also safely say that analyzing a text requires much more than just counting words!


text: Recently, Deepika Padukone was invited to the PMs residence at 7 Race Course Road, Delhi to have dinner with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and 20 cabinet ministers. The dinner was in honor of the Japanese PM Yukio Hatoyama and his wife, Miyuki Hatoyama. They are presently visiting India and are huge fans of Bollywood films.They liked Deepika in Om Shanti Om a lot and wanted to meet her. The PMs office then called Deepika and asked her if she would like to come to dinner. The actress, who was shooting for Ashutosh Gowarikers Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se in Goa, readily agreed and took a day off from shooting. She was very excited and nervous and felt that she was privileged and honoured to be invited to the occasion. She wore a Manish Malhotra saree for the event.

Here it is. A thread dedicated to analyzing Mary Sues and Marty Stus. I've always disliked these types of characters for derailing the story or derailing the characters.
What I'm asking is how this character type affects a story in a good or bad way and the effect on your overall opinion on the stories they're in.

In "Dickheads," an excellent Baffler essay, David Graeber measures the sociological and historical significance of the necktie, which he believes to be a phallus (how it's shaped, where it points) full of cultural meaning about power. An excerpt:
So what does any of this have to do with neckties? Well, at first glance, the paradox has only deepened. If the message of the suit is that its wearer is a largely invisible, abstract, and generic creature to be defined by his ability to act, then the decorative necktie makes little sense.
But let's examine other forms of decoration allowed in formal attire and see if a larger pattern of sartorial power begins to emerge. Decoration that's specific to women (earrings, lipstick, eyeshadow, etc.) tends to highlight the receptive organs. Permissible men's jewelry—rings, cuff links, fancy watches—tends to accentuate the hands. This is, of course, consistent: it is through the hands that one acts upon the world. There's also the tie clip, but that's not really a problem. The tie and the cuff links seem to fulfill their functions in parallel, each adding a little decoration to tighten a spot where human flesh sticks out, namely the neck and wrists. They also help seal off the exposed bits from the remainder of the body, which remains effaced, its contours largely invisible.
This observation, I think, points the way to the resolution of our paradox. After all, the male body in a suit does contain a third potentially obtrusive element that is most definitely not exposed, something that, in fact, is not indicated in any way, even though one does have to take it out, periodically, to pee. Suits have to be tailored to allow for urination, which also has to be done in such a way that nobody notices. The fly (which is invisible) is a bourgeois innovation, much unlike earlier aristocratic styles, such as the European codpiece, that often drew explicit attention to the genital region. This is the one part of the male body whose contours are entirelyeffaced. If hiding something is a way of declaring it a form of power, then hiding the male genitals is a way of declaring masculinity itself a form of power. It's not just that the tie sits on precisely the spot that, in women's formal wear, tends to be the most sexualized (the cleavage). A tie resembles a penis in shape, and points directly at it. Couldn't we say that a tie is really a symbolic displacement of the penis, only an intellectualized penis, dangling not from one's crotch but from one's head, chosen from among an almost infinite variety of other ties by an act of mental will?
Hey, this would explain a lot…•

Reckitt Benckiser, the consumer healthcare group that owns Dettol and Nurofen, is to spend £100m on opening a new hi-tech research and development site in Hull.
The company was founded in Hull almost 200 years ago and the investment will secure around 1,200 jobs in the city.
The facility will be used to develop key products such as Nurofen and Strepsils. RB want the new Centre of Technical Expertise to be operational by early 2018 and hope it will attract scientific talent to the company.
George Osborne, the Chancellor, welcomed the investment. "A key part of our long term economic plan is making the UK a world leader in science and innovation, and the new state of the art Centre of Scientific Excellence will help us deliver this, giving greater economic security for hardworking people," he said
The R&D site will become one of six innovation centres around the world. The company said it chose Hull, where it already has significant operations, following an internal review that praised the "existing consumer health expertise in the UK" and the "Government's positive attitude towards encouraging innovation, science and technology".
Rakesh Kapoor, chief executive of RB, said :"Growing our global consumer health business is at the heart of our vision to provide innovative solutions for healthier lives and happier homes.
"The availability of effective self-medication is a critical part of the growing socio-economic need to help people manage their health; and this is more than just a major investment for RB.
"It is a statement of intent to drive positive change consumer health. It not only shows the importance we place on innovation, but also underlines our faith in the UK as a place to invest in technical expertise and in consumer health R&D."

Man, I'm tired. Today was the shifter picnic lunch, which basically was lunch with stuffed animals on the table, although I did manage to give away a nice stash of my surplus copies of RIVER ROAD. So if you want a print copy of River Road, leave a comment here and I'll give away whatever I have left.
Biggest irony of the day: So, there was a discussion panel planned for 2 this afternoon on "Urban Fantasy: Still Alive and Kicking?" Well, apparently, the answer is no, since I was the only author who showed up for the panel. So I sat there by myself at the table and talked to all the nice people who came. We talked about UF, about the book industry, about Penton. It was actually fun, at least for me. 🙂
Next came a fun panel on Vampires, and then an audiobook event, so I unloaded some audiobooks.
Finally came the Tiara Ball. I didn't host a table at this one (I'm doing that tomorrow night), but sat at author Cathy Clamp's table. She picked an "80s Hair Band" theme, which was funny. I did wear a tiara. I didn't do a costume. I HAVE a costume for tomorrow night but suspect I'm going to chicken out of wearing it.
Random photos from the day….

A silver 2012 Tesla electric roadster raced into Saskatoon today.
At the wheel was Sun Country Highway founder Kent Rathwell. The Saskatchewan-based company sells electric car chargers and is also working to build what it calls "the world's longest green highway."
The idea is to establish a network of charging stations across Canada. Most are located at hotels and auto repair shops.
In Saskatoon, the Sun Country Highway charging station is at the Bessborough Hotel and today, it had its official unveiling.
Regina has had a charging station for some time. It is located right on the Trans Canada Highway.

The state Senate, in my unhumble opinion, could be vastly improved by the elimination of the Old Farts' Brigade, an assemblage of Way Too Senior Solons (way too many of them Democrats) who are way too enamored of their own individual brilliance.
Well, the OFB has been reduced by one. The Freeploid's Terri Hallenbeck reports that Bob Hartwell, the kinda-sorta climate change denying chair of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, has decided not to run for re-election.
My first thought was, Whoopee!!!
My second thought was a musical one: that warm, sensitive ballad "Fuck You" by the redoubtable Cee-Lo Green. This one's for you, Bob.
Yeah, didn't much care for the man. But the best I thought I could hope for was his entirely justified removal from the SNRC. And that seemed to be a very slim hope, given the hidebound nature of the Senate's Committee on Committees, which doles out the committee assignments. (Phil Scott, plus venerable Old Farts John H.A. Campbell and Dick Mazza.)
So am I happy to see Hartwell go? You bet your sweet bippy I am.
The news did not come directly from Hartwell; the source was his fellow Bennington Democrat (and Old Fart) Dick Sears, who offered this rationale:
Sears said Hartwell wants to spend more time on Cape Cod. Sears said growing strain between Hartwell and environmentalists likely also took its toll. "I suspect that that's part of it," Sears said.
Sears did not say, but I will, the "entirely justified (and entirely Hartwell's fault) growing strain." For the last two years, Hartwell and his committee — loaded with single-issue wind-energy haters — spent virtually all its time seeking, by any means at its disposal, to make it harder for Vermont to beef up its renewable energy resources. Hartwell's climate-change skepticism, expressed in an April interview with Paul "The Huntsman" Heintz, was just the maraschino cherry on top of the shit sundae. As a reminder of Hartwell's apostasy:
"I think what I don't like about the extremists on the climate issue … is that somehow this is all being caused by human behavior. There is a significant natural phenomenon that is also going on, in my view," Hartwell told Seven Days.
… "To suggest that mankind is causing the whole climate to shift, that's a big reach," he added. "I don't think anybody's ever proved that."
As Heintz helpfully pointed out, Hartwell's comments came less than two weeks after the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had released its report, making an extremely strong case that human influence "has been the dominant cause" of climate change. Hartwell quickly tried to deny that he'd said what he'd said, but the damage was done.
And if his willfully ignorant statements helped lead to his departure from the Senate, well, at least something good came of them.
His withdrawal comes only one week ahead of the filing deadline. The timing is clearly aimed at greasing the skids for his chosen replacement, State Rep. Brian Campion; it's way too late for anyone else to gear up. Sears says he and Campion will campaign as a team.
I don't know beans about Brian Campion, so I won't condemn the man solely on the basis of his choice of allies. According to Project Vote Smart, he has a pretty solid voting record: 100% ratings from the League of Conservation Voters and Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, and a suitably low 13% from the Vermont National Federation for Independent Business. His 44% rating from the Ethan Allen Institute is a bit worrying, but far from probative.
According to the always-reliable Wikipedia, Campion is very active in the civic life of Bennington: he's a trustee of the Bennington Museum, a commissioner of the Bennington Housing Authority, and he's a director of the Bennington Chamber of Commerce. His day job is with Bennington College's office of external relations. I can only assume his favorite restaurant is the great Blue Benn Diner.
Oh, and he's gay.
I wish him well. And I hope he's an improvement on Bob Hartwell, who can go to Cape Cod and watch the sea level rise for some mysterious unknown reason.

Impacts of acidic ISR on geochemistry and bacteria in Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, in-situ recovery (ISR) mining utilizes H2SO4 (pH < 2) to mobilize uranium from naturally reducing conditions. ISR can be less environmentally impactful than physical mining techniques, but it risks groundwater (GW) contamination. Presented here is a geochemical and metagenomic analysis and comparison of pre-, mid-, and post-mining GW conditions. Biostimulation may limit the spread of U and decrease the time of exposure, compared to natural attenuation, by orders of magnitude
Keywords: Kazakhstan ; uranium ; in-situ recovery ; microbial communities

VIENNA, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Austrian property group Immofinanz has sold the majority of its residential portfolio in the province of Upper Austria, it said on Wednesday.
Immofinanz, which is selling Austrian assets and buying German property in preparation for a listing of its Buwog unit, declined to give a price for the sale of the properties to Linz-based building company WAG but said it was above book value.
Managing Director Alexander Hoff said the step would help Immofinanz strengthen its positions in Vienna and northern Germany including Berlin, the core markets for Buwog.
"We are therefore continuing to systematically implement our IPO-related strategy and will invest the funds we generate from these sales in these two core markets," he said in a statement. (Reporting by Georgina Prodhan; editing by Jane Baird)

The Simpsons Adventure Map for MPCE Maps
The Simpsons Adventure is a fun and scary adventure map which is based around The Simpsonsand its characters. For the most part you are required to fight zombies and do a whole lot of running from one building to another as you try to find a solution for this zombie invasion. Nonetheless, it's an enjoyable adventure where you get to experience the city of Springfield, meeting many famous characters from the show and fight zombies.
- Read all signs
- Only enter buildings when signs/books advice you to
- Never break any blocks unless told to
- Use levers to open iron doors
- Player on a difficulty level which spawns zombies, preferably difficulty: —|
How to play the map?
To really get in tune with the adventure we highly recommend to use Homer Simpson's skin as it's Homer the story is based around. As you spawn in the world you will find yourself stranded on the roof of Moe's Tavern in Springfield. But things don't seem normal, there are zombies roaming the streets. Either you are just really drunk or something extremely bad must have happened.
Mr Burns appears to be the villain responsible for this chaos and it's up to you to stop him and his army of zombies.
The download includes a text file which will act as the storyline. At some places in-game there will be chests with a book and a sign. This will let you know when it's time to start reading the book.
Map Ending (important info) (don't read if you hate map spoilers!): After you've killed the Enderman boss the map appears to end. It seems as an abrupt ending but we haven't figured out what to do next. If you do, let us know. If not, maybe that's just how it's supposed to end.
How to install The Simpsons Adventure Map for MPCE:
- 1. Download the map of your choice in Internet Browser on Android.
- 2. Go to MyFiles or Astro from Android Market: ASTRO File Manager
- 3. Then go to in the app /mnt/sdcard/downloads.
- 4. Extract the map if you have to and place it in /mnt/sdcard/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds

This volume offers one of the best available introductions to the psalms literature of the Bible. Specially designed for general readers, James L. Crenshaw's new book will help beginning students read the psalms with understanding and appreciation. Part 1 examines the composition and major features of the book of Psalms. Comparisons to other biblical psalms and to deutero- and noncanonical psalms are also made. Part 2 surveys the various approaches to the Psalter, illustrating with great clarity the various modes of interpreting the book. Crenshaw looks in particular at the types of psalms, their social settings, and the historical reconstruction of the Israelite experience, with special attention to ancient Near Eastern iconography. Artistic design and theological editing are also discussed. In Part 3 Crenshaw offers in-depth exegesis of four notable psalms-24, 71, 73, and 115-to show how one might fruitfully engage the text. Given its range of discussion and highly accessible style, The Psalms: An Introduction will quickly become a favorite resource for study of the psalms.
