Homefront has something of a troubled past; from well-documented development woes to a sorely inept open Beta test, it has seen its share of ups and downs. I was amongst the few critics that seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the original Homefront released last generation. It was tough, unforgiving, and followed a line of thought that I think has touched nearly every American at some point; "What would happen if we were invaded?" One of my favorite movies growing up was Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen's "Red Dawn" and Homefront had a storyline VERY similar to it.
Sure, the campaign was brutal, short, and if you did not take the time to read the various newspaper clippings found throughout the game as collectibles, then the story seemed to take weird jumps or twists. Homefront: The Revolution tries to rewrite some of that history and in some ways, succeeds, other ways, fails. Despite its troubled history, there is the workings of a solid game at the core of Homefront: The Revolution; you just need to sift through a handful of problems to find it.
It is not often that someone tries to redefine, or change, the FPS genre as it is a fairly straightforward experience. Homefront: The Revolution does not try to completely change or redefine, but rather incorporate open world gameplay features found in games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or Grand Theft Auto V, weapon customization that is a near copy of that found in the Crysis series (which is perfect IMO, and it has been made better here) with brutal FPS combat found in games like the original Homefront or Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Taking inspiration from other games is a perfectly acceptable method to developing a game, however bringing very little that is original to the table is a big mistake that many games make, and it is one that Homefront: The Revolution certainly makes.
Throughout the 8-10 hours' worth of a campaign (that is deceptively fun), Homefront struggles with its identity. Open world games let you move at your own pace, yet Homefront works hard to push you along the story; it's VERY easy to blow past a lot of the more interesting side quests as the game does not give you the moment to breath and take in your surroundings. The pacing is further disrupted by the abysmal "stealth" mechanics in the game. Early on you can work to blend into the subdued populace, which makes for some interesting events, but all too quickly the game strips away the perceived anonymity and says "well, you are too popular so you can't blend anymore, so it's up to you to just destroy everything without being seen." Had they not removed your anonymity so soon, there could have been far more to the whole "hit-and-run" guerilla-style combat that they were claiming you could do.
The actual gunplay is great; firearms are clunky at best, which fits in perfectly for the world that Homefront is set into. Weapons are makeshift and deeply customizable. I am an avid shooter, a loving and staunch supporter of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Of America; I love me some good ol' boom-sticks so when I see weapon take-downs that are realistic a small part of me just giggles with glee. Customizing firearms in Homefront is one of, if not the most, enjoyable things I have seen in a first person shooter in years, if not a decade or more. The takedown action, reloading, or remodding actions are gorgeously animated and I would find myself just staring as I, on-the-fly, converted my pistol to an SMG and back again; it was mesmerizing.
There are a few other moments that are like that, especially when you grab some other recruitable Resistance fighters and make your way to a strike point or stronghold. Though the recruits tend to die quickly, they do act as decoys but do not last all that long; a shame too, because it is really something to watch as your four recruits run up in the dead of night and work to flank the enemies. Truthfully it would be nice to have the recruits along in all aspects of the game, but the pitiable "stealth" sections are horrible, and the biggest benefit of the recruits is to draw fire. This is especially important when APCs are in the area, since their view and threat distances are ... farther than the Xbox One's draw distance. This is especially irksome during the "stealth" sections (where you wander around in populated areas trying to sabotage the KPA) since an APC will see you before you even see it (thus exponentially increasing the difficulty of the mission).
Even through a hell-hole ridden development cycle, and not without its serious technical faults (seriously, 20-30 seconds to close out of shops, looting bodies is a joke, horrible draw distances), Homefront: The Revolution is actually fun. It tries to add an open-world concept to a typically on-rails experience and for the most part, succeeds. There has been mention, a few times, that the developers are working towards a patch so improve framerates and various technical issues, but at the pace they are moving things, it may be too late to save this diamond-in-the-rough.

"Use for yourself little, but give to others much." —Albert Einstein
When I was in middle school, I flew with my brother and sister to visit extended family. I placed a backpack full of my stuff in an overhead bin and buckled up. My favorite cassettes at the time were inside, my favorite Minnesota Gopher t-shirt, my favorite sweatshirt, and a book.
After arriving and walking through most of the airport, I noticed a lightness on my back. I had walked off the plane without my bag. Despite spinning around and running back to the gate, the plane and stuff were nowhere to be found.
I was a bit too forgetful as a child (heck, I'm a bit too forgetful as an adult). I forgot my fair share of packed lunches, homework assignments, and textbooks back at the house.
But this moment felt a little bit different.
Those possessions in that backpack felt like everything to me at the time. I was devastated, and everyone around me—especially my brother and sister—could feel the disappointment.
My guess is that feeling is relatable to almost everyone. At some point in our lives, we all misplace or forget something important.
How we react to that loss is another thing. Despite being inevitable, most of us are surprised when it happens—humbled by an emptiness for something… missing.
When I first discovered minimalism and began clearing out my garage many years ago, fear gripped me. And I've heard the same from others. Each item I removed felt like a little, voluntary loss. Sometimes I gripped an item for a while, pondering, "What if I need this in the future?"
The "what if" mindset slowed me down. As if the George Foreman grill would one day come back to haunt me and say, "Told you so!"
Despite the discomfort, I learned to let go of my unneeded material possessions—repeatedly. Sure, some things were harder than others, and some things took longer than others. But slowly, by persisting and not giving up, I began to see how loss ultimately leads to gain.
Here are Five Lessons I Learned Intentionally Letting Go:
1. Everything is fleeting.
The passage of time shifts and modifies our perspective on loss. Fortunately, I'm not still reeling over the loss of my backpack as a student. While losses might be painful initially, it's a fleeting sensation. Trust in this process and understanding.
If you've been hesitating to throw something away you've never used "just in case" you might need it someday, embrace the loss, let it go, and see how you feel a few months later. My guess is you won't miss any of it once it's gone.
2. Lighter is better.
Stuff can be burdensome—weighing us down. It's not just the physical heft of objects, but it's the time we take out of our lives to maintain, prop up, and care for what we own. To let go is to provide yourself the opportunity to feel the lightness from having less responsibility for material goods. Today's losses are tomorrow's freedom.
3. You can break the chain of materialism, intentionally.
There comes a point where we must question whether materialism allows us to live the life we'd like to lead. By choosing to let go, we push against the societal norms and messages that say we must consume more to be happy.
Something changed in me years ago, and by tossing extraneous goods out, I placed a stamp of commitment to become minimalist. This was the first radical step to more with less, but I needed to persist through the doubts, fears, and losses.
4. You define what's important.
If the stuff we own doesn't define us anymore, what does? Well, that's for you decide. For me, "loss" allowed me to focus on my family, friends, and my larger community. It empowered me to start The Hope Effect, Simplify Magazine, Uncluttered, and connect with an entire network of simple living advocates around the world. We must question what today's potential feelings of loss might be stopping us from becoming, doing, and supporting.
5. Losses can be reframed.
To eschew the materialist messages of our society, consume less, declutter more, and become a minimalist might involve loss. It's a potent, powerful feeling that can prevent us from acting up and changing our ways. Inversely, we could actually move away from the very concept of loss altogether, see the act of letting go as giving back and making time for more of what matters most. In that light, loss becomes a positive force for good. Minimalism isn't about the things you remove from your life—it's about freeing up your life to add back in the things that are truly important.
These lessons have affected me—even today.
On a recent flight home, I got up to use the bathroom and briefly left my laptop in the backseat pocket. I didn't think much of it. But when I returned to the seat, the person seated next to me leaned over and said, "Be careful where you leave that. Someone might take it."
I thought about the statement for a moment and kindly thanked her. But in the back of my mind I was thinking, "I'd be okay—even without it. Besides, if someone's going to risk stealing a laptop on an airplane, they probably need it more than me."
Minimalism hasn't made me flippant about stuff; rather, it's helped me focus on what matters most. As my attachment to material possessions lessens, I am able to develop a greater appreciation for those things that could never be replaced.

EDMONTON – The Alberta Pandas won their fourth-straight with a 7-0 victory over the Mount Royal Cougars, Friday night at Clare Drake Arena.
The win improves Alberta's record to 4-1-0-0 in 2018/19, as they also earn a third-straight shutout. The Cougars drop to 1-3-0-1, and into seventh in the conference standings.
The Pandas scored three in the opening frame, including two in the first nine minutes, chasing Cougar starter Zoe De Beauville, who allowed three goals on 13 shots.
Backup Emily Severson faired well in replacement, making a pair of key saves early in the second period. However, the Pandas skating was too much for MRU to handle, as Ganser extended their lead midway through the second.
Alberta continued to pour it on early in the third, as Poznikoff scored her second of the night just 16 seconds into the frame, before Benning notched her first of the season 24 seconds later. Boucher added her first of the season in the final minute, sealing a dominating performance for Alberta.
MRU managed just four shots combined in the second and third periods, all of which were saved by the Panda goalie.
The two sides will finish up their weekend series tomorrow night in Calgary, as the Pandas visit the Cougars at the Flames Community Arena at 6:00 p.m. MST.

Addicted to Unhappiness: Free Yourself from Moods and Behaviors that
Undermine Relationships, Work, and the Life You Want
by Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D. and William J. Pieper, M.D. (McGraw-Hill, 2002, 2004).
Everyone is born with the potential to live fulfilled lives, but many find it difficult to realize that
potential. Using real-life examples, the authors of this self-help book provide insights and effective
strategies that will help anyone choose and maintain the happiness he or she deserves.
" Your birthright and the birthright of every child is a kind of nurture that makes permanent your inborn conviction of being loveable and loved. The result is a lifelong ability to take good care of yourself and your body, the knack of choosing and keeping loyal friends and partners, the capacity to work to your potential and enjoy it, the resilience to recover from setbacks and bad luck, and the ability to give your own children the gift of inner happiness. This is not a utopian view. Everyone has the potential for this kind of adulthood. And, as we are going to show you, the good news is that it is never too late. Even if you missed this type of happiness the first time around, we will show you how to create it for yourself from this moment forward."

Smart Love: The Compassionate Alternative to Discipline that Will
Make You a Better Parent and your Child a Better Person
by Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D. and William J. Pieper, M.D.
(Harvard Common Press, 1999).
This remarkable book is enlightening parents everywhere about the Smart Love approach
to parenting. A recorded books edition of Smart Love can be found at
" Martha and William Pieper focus on every parent's desire: the happiness of their children. They recognize that the best thing parents can do to achieve that goal is to provide love and attention in ways their children can understand and use. They encourage the long-term view of development that speaks to children's deep feelings of worthiness rather than to the here-and-now of how the child is behaving. The Piepers' approach to parenting makes the process easier and more pleasurable for both children and parents. This book is a great overview as well as a resource for solving problems."
Barbara T. Bowman, former Executive Director,
Erikson Institute for Early Childhood Education
" Smart Love is a terrific book of practical tips, psychological insights, and wise childrearing philosophy. Everyone who is smart enough to read Smart Love will have a much better idea of why babies to adolescents do what they do and of how to steer a peaceful and loving course through the daily and sometimes perplexing challenges of parenting."
Joan Ganz Cooney, co-founder of Childrens'
Television Workshop and originator of "Sesame Street"
" At last! A parenting book that tells dads and moms it's OK to follow their healthiest instincts. This definitely isn't tough love, but it isn't permissiveness either. Over decades of experience, the Piepers have developed and tested a positive approach that is successful with all kinds of kids. Whether you're a parent or a professional, you will welcome the good news in Smart Love. You can enjoy a relationship with children that's based on mutual respect. You don't have to get tough-you can get smart!"
David S. Liederman, former Executive Director,
Child Welfare League of America
" Excellent suggestions on how to be nurturing and compassionate, so that you can help your child become well-adjusted and happy."

Intrapsychic Humanism: An Introduction to a Comprehensive
Psychology and Philosophy of Mind
by Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D., and William J. Pieper, M.D. (Falcon II Press, 1990)
This groundbreaking book provides readers with a unified and inclusive theory of paradigmatic human experience, psychopathology, and psychological treatment. Intrapsychic Humanism presents a uniquely positive view of human nature.
" Intrapsychic Humanism is the first presentation of a trailblazing, original psychology of the human condition. It advances a revolutionary developmental psychology, which generates a unified and inclusive theory of paradigmatic human experience, psychopathology, and psychological treatment. This exciting book has something for everyone: student, lay person, professional, parent, and anyone who has been reaching for psychological truth. It brims with thoughtprovoking insights which have immediate applicability to everyday personal and clinical experience."
Antonia Bercovici
Past President, California State Psychological Association;
Department of Psychology, University of California at Berkeley
" The authors' task, to present a new ontology of consciousness, its accompanying epistemology, and the implications for psychological treatment, is monumental in its scope and complexity… A stimulating and thought-provoking treatise."
Jacob Kraemer Tebes
Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology,
Yale University
" This is a groundbreaking new approach to personality development and the etiology, nature, and treatment of psychopathology. It is also conceptually innovative in that it breaks in several respects with features of the philosophical tradition. Most notably, it rejects the solipsism and rigid 1st person-3rd person (subjective-objective, inner self-outer world) dichotomy that has been both the dogma and the scandal of philosophy since Descartes.
In this theory, the paradigmatic (or ideal) development of the child is founded on the establishment of a fundamental care-giving relationship between parent and child which, in development, yields a robust sense of self as agent, appropriate boundaries and relationships between that self and other persons and inanimate objects in the external world, and transforms the self into a competent care-giver. The causal and generative immediacy of this relationship bridges and voids the traditional gap between 1st and 3rd person, and places embodied, interacting, socialized selves in the world in a way that eliminates many traditional epistemological and ontological problems concerning the self.
Perhaps more importantly, Intrapsychic Humanism provides an optimistic view of human nature, a new way of understanding our psychopathologies, and outlines a form of therapeutic practice for their treatment… it presents a challenging and important new perspective on our nature, our problems, and how we should deal with them."

Breaches Of Contract By Franchisors, Suppliers And Manufactureres
Today, courts' general outlook is that, absent a specific franchise or distribution statute, franchisees and dealers should be held to the very narrow remedies that are specifically provided for in their written franchise or distribution agreements. Unfortunately, over the recent past, franchisees and dealers' rights under their franchise or supplier agreements have declined precipitously. This has resulted in very inadequate, wispy and noncommittal language in these agreements, which often creates only illusory obligations on the part of the franchisor, supplier and manufacturer.
Inadequacy Of The Training And Support Leads to Breach Of Contract Claims
Frequently, franchisee and suppliers' breach of contract claims focus on the inadequacy of the training and support provided by their franchisor, supplier or manufacturer. Franchisors and suppliers also commonly argue that their contract was breached when a unilateral change was made to the supplier system or franchise format. Sometimes, franchisors, suppliers, or manufacturers require changes that can be excessively costly, like the expense of substantial remodeling, for instance. Other mandatory modifications, like computer changes, can be less costly, but nevertheless unreasonably disruptive to a franchisee or supplier's business.
More difficult legal challenges may arise when a franchisor, supplier or manufacturer's duties are not explicitly identified in the relevant distribution or franchise agreement. For instance, Jeff Goldstein and Goldstein Law's clients frequently express that their franchisor, supplier or manufacturer mismanaged the operation of the franchise system, or unilaterally cut back on expenses. Other clients validly complain about their franchisor, supplier or manufacturer's unfair spending of advertising funds that were contributed by franchisees or dealers, as well as franchise standards that were cut at company-owned operations, but not at franchisee or supplier owned outlets.
As noted when discussing defaults, most modern franchise and distribution agreements classify potential breaches of their agreements into serious (i.e., material) breaches and insubstantial (i.e., immaterial) breaches. Serious violations usually allow the non-breaching party to automatically terminate the agreement upon service of a notice of default and termination to the breaching party. In contrast, the less serious infringements result in a default, but not an immediate termination. In this context, like many others, there is a tremendous asymmetry of the rights and obligations specified in franchise and supplier agreements. Although supplier and franchise agreements provide for prolific bases of material default by a franchisee or dealer, these same agreements list few, if any, similar bases of material default by a franchisor or supplier.
Thus, when the default process is used against a franchisee, it has the possibility to destroy the franchisee or dealer's businesses and personal resources. However, when the default process is applied against a franchisor or supplier, there are many legal escape hatches for it to utilize written directly into the agreement. These include the absence of a right of the franchisee or dealer to terminate the franchisor or supplier, or the lack of an obligation by a franchisor or supplier not to commit material breaches.
Success Of Goldstein Law Firm Combatting Wrongful Breaches By Franchisors, Suppliers And Manufacturers
Jeff Goldstein and the lawyers at the Goldstein Law Firm have over thirty years of rigorous expertise and experience in franchise litigation around the country. This experience includes frequently litigating cases that involve dueling charges and counter-charges of breach of contract. Attorney Goldstein's success in defending against franchisor or supplier breach of contract allegations, as well as prosecuting breach of contract claims against franchisors and suppliers, is exceptional.
When franchisors and suppliers breach franchise and distribution agreements, Jeff Goldstein has exceled in getting franchisees and dealers out of these losing business relationships by terminating the agreement, or convincing the franchisor or supplier to modify its conduct. Further, to the extent the franchisor or supplier's breach has caused injury to a business, the Goldstein Law Group has been successful in obtaining substantial damages for its franchisee and dealer clients.
What To Do If Your Franchisor Or Supplier Has Breached Your Distribution Or Franchise Agreement
If a franchisee or dealer suspects that their franchise agreement might have been breached, history has shown that it is critical that they contact a franchisee lawyer who represents only franchisees and dealers. Before approaching your franchisor, supplier or manufacturer about a suspected breach by them, you should consult and work with a franchise lawyer who will be able to provide you legal cover for the anticipated retaliatory response. This type of response is likely to be asserted by your franchisor or supplier as a reaction to your inquiry or complaint. Frequently, rather than working amicably to resolve a breach issue, the franchisor or supplier will attempt to 'even the playing field' by falsely claiming a breach of the agreement against the franchisee or dealer. Under these circumstances, your franchise lawyer should implement a legal protection plan to defend against any such counter-attack before forging forward on your affirmative breach of contract allegations.
To effectively deal with your franchisor or supplier's breach of contract, you should contact Jeff Goldstein at the Goldstein Law Firm at 202-293-3947. Don't let your franchisor or supplier's failure or refusal to meet its obligations force you to lose your business.

I grew up with gifted. I work with gifted. People often ask, "So, you must be gifted too." Yet, I never thought of myself as gifted. I still don't. When my peers labeled me as "that smart kid's sister." It didn't hurt nearly as much that they were teasing me but rather that all they knew, or cared to know, about my little brother was that he was "smart" — not just smart, but brilliant — profoundly gifted. Moreover, he was different. Yet, so was I. Aren't we all?
I never thought of my brother as gifted or different until my peers, the teachers, and psychologists started to label him as such. He was my little brother. He was the little brother that made mud pies in the sandbox with me. He was the little brother that repeatedly helped me track all of the sand from said sandbox into the house. He was the little brother who could fix things. He was the little brother who slept curled up on the floor no matter how many times you put him back in bed. He was the little brother who would sleep by my door when we'd fight and I would lock him out. He was the little brother who drank all of the milk in the house. He was the little brother who made a mess out of our shared bathroom. He was the little brother who could stubbornly go days without eating. He was the little brother who I brought to preschool for show-and-tell.
Most importantly, he was MY little brother. I was very proud of that. I still am. I'm not proud of that because he's brilliant or successful. I'm proud because he was mine. It wasn't until he was nine years old or so that he realized he didn't HAVE to listen to me. That was disappointing. Still, he was mine. His "giftedness" was such a small portion of who he was and is. His giftedness consumed our family. It consumed my mom's time and energy. It consumed him. It consumed me. Yet, it was, and is, such a small portion of him.
He was so much more than gifted, but was I so much more than gifted's older sister? Was my mom more than gifted's mom? Yes, yes she was. She is. I am. He is. We all are.
Gifted's a label — an often discriminatory label that overshadows our most valuable asset — our individuality, our unique qualities — our humanity. I hate the gifted label — the very idea that our children need all of these labels. Gifted is one part of who we are. It's only one dimension. We are so much more than gifted. Gifted isn't me. Gifted isn't my brother. Gifted isn't you. Gifted is only one dimension.

Are cities "bad"? Is Nature "good"? Should we curtail our actions in order to protect endangered species? The Jewish view of the creation mandate provides an interesting perspective on these questions, as shown in this excerpt from Environmental Stewardship in the Judeo-Christian Tradition:
The general hostility toward industrial development that is often evidenced by environmental activists is frequently rooted in a pantheistic opposition to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and is as old as the Tower of Babel. Judaism takes note of how industrial development tends toward the spiritual and away from the merely material. In our own times, this is quite clear as we see development lead societies past the manufacture of steel and large machinery to the creation of data and knowledge. . . . Judaism views this as a movement toward human recognition of the primacy of the spiritual over the material. It is no coincidence that this tendency for society to move toward the spiritual also brings along with it less disruption of nature. Instead of imposing barriers to industrialization upon the developing world, we could be better served to assist developing nations in moving through this early phase of growth. In this fashion, each part of the world can make its own decisions and judgments about how it will balance its own needs . . . . Those of us in the developed world may not want a rubber-tire factory next door. However, if we lived near Cairo and presently were neighbors to the world's biggest garbage dump, which is populated by ghostly skeletons rummaging through the filth to find food for another day's existence, we may welcome the arrival of a tire plant to displace the garbage dump. Judaism has great faith in the ability of ordinary human beings to make their own decisions and to find ways to overcome tragic circumstances.
This faith comes from another religious conviction not shared by many environmentalists. Again, if we are nothing but sophisticated animals, it is only right that important decisions should be made of us by an elite group of people playing the roles of zookeeper or farmer. In this view of reality, we are not capable of determining for ourselves just how much prosperity we are willing to sacrifice to halt development. Since nature is the ultimate good, our zookeepers will determine that no burden is too heavy for us to shoulder in service to our god of nature. . . .
The basic Jewish principle of balance and middle path also conflicts with the contemporary environmental doctrine that preserving each spotted owl and each kangaroo rat is more important than any costs borne by humans and any sacrifices made by people. Judaism would never countenance loggers suffering the indignity of joblessness in order not to disturb the nesting habitat of the owl. . . . People need not justify their needs or desires to nature. They are warned only against destroying things for no good purpose. . . .
Our task is, in essence, to subdue nature and redirect it for holy purposes. . . . Your labor is welcome, and its results are pleasing to me, says the Lord. For this reason, Judaism is prouder of man's skyscrapers than of God's swamps, and prouder of man's factories than of God's forests.

Save the Rhino by Legalising Rhino Horn Trade? Ivo Vegter Weighs Up the Pros and Cons
Ivo Vegter, author of Extreme Environment: How environmental exaggeration harms emerging economies and columnist for the Daily Maverick, has written an article about whether legalising the trade in rhino horn could save the species.
Vegter explains why dehorning rhinos or poisoning the horns do not deter poachers – they simply kill any rhino they find in order to make their own tracking process easier and to save themselves time and money.
The author summarises the two options available to reduce rhino poaching: "Reduce demand for horn by education campaigns, improve anti-poaching security measures, tighten law enforcement, and/or legalise trade."
Read the article in which Vegter highlights the pros and cons of each option:
His killer argument, however, is this: a government-controlled central selling organisation is far more likely to win the approval of the delegates at CITES than an unrestricted free market. As much as I prefer my capitalism unfettered, he's right. They're all watermelons there: green on the outside, and red on the inside (to use James Delingpole's provocative phrase).
The fate of the rhino hangs on whether these people can be persuaded. If that means making a compromise that appeals to socialists, statists and bureaucrats, then it seems a good compromise to me.

Height growth supplements
Shorter people lag behind taller human beings in modeling, movies, army, police and games especially basketball and athletics. All these professions demand certain specific height. For girls, 5 feet5 inches is enough and for boys 6 feet is enough. Medical science claims that human height mainly grows up to puberty and 2-3 inches of height can be increased till 25 years of age.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmad
"The chief cause of problems is solutions." — Eric Sevareid
Usually limited to the sport of tennis, an unforced error refers to bad play made entirely as a result of a player's blunder, and not because of an opponent's skills or effort.
Applied to politics, unforced errors do not have the luxury of being isolated from pressure, prompting or stress in engaging an opponent. Nonetheless, the analogy makes sense when the scale of the misjudgement or error is of such nature or significance that it gives your opponent an undeserved advantage, or places you at risks you could or should have avoided.
There are many instances of political unforced errors these days, perhaps owing to the slippery grounds on which all players play, or the absence of good intelligence, stamina or skills among the players. Some of the errors our politicians and leaders make these days will cost the nation very dearly. While they will only lose nominations and elections, some of their mistakes could lose the nation excellent opportunities to fix its current problems, and give it a stronger foundation for future generations to build upon.
Take the case of the claimed breakthrough by the Federal Government in its fight against Boko Haram in the form of an agreement to cease hostilities, presumably as a step towards a negotiated resolution. The announcement came from the Federal Government, a party in the war that has had the upper hand in the last few weeks; looks like it is successfully marshalling all its assets for a final onslaught, and still has large populations and territory in the hands of terrorists it appears to be defeating. Even making legitimate allowances for the fact that the government knows something we do not, the acceptance of a ceasefire with an opponent seemingly on the run is bound to raise more than eyebrows. Those among us who thought the administration deserves some trust had our goodwill shattered just a few hours into the trumpeted ceasefire when the insurgents took over new territory and population, slaughtering many locals to make the point that nothing has changed.
Perhaps our military hierarchy really had thought it had a binding agreement, and had instructed its forces not to fight? No matter. The insurgents bombed the claim that there was a ceasefire, and then the walls collapsed on the claim that a credible ceasefire was signed from the outrage and cynicism of just about everyone who should know. Local communities, people with knowledge of the insurgency and critical analysts who had seen it all before said either the administration had been deceived again, or it is involved in another game of deception. The word so far is that bombs are going off from both sides and villagers are being slaughtered even as Jonathan's administration sticks to the idea that it has a credible ceasefire agreement. Our troops will now fight to defend themselves and prevent further inroads into our territories while people make money putting forward characters that claim to represent Boko Haram, and our population in captured territories or kidnapped citizens begin to wonder if they are being bargained away.
Or take the case of the quiet but intense drama going on in the upper echelons of the APC, the type that will give it the nation to run in 2015, or give the PDP another four years from 2015. For a party that a few months ago was virtually guaranteed victory against the PDP, the APC is now fighting for its dear life. Everything is threatening to come unstuck, and unless you count the massive invasion by former PDP members into the APC as moles, most of the problems of the APC today are self-inflicted. There were small errors, faulty assumptions and miscalculations here and there, all made in the euphoria which followed the historic merger of major opposition parties which have now grown into massive problems. The acute shortage of time to resolve them is being compounded by the intense pressure from very powerful interests within the party to shape it after their ambitions. The hitherto unassailable position of General Buhari is now being openly challenged by people who, this time last year, were not even in the party. Atiku, as is rumoured, may very well be in the game to retire Buhari finally and permanently from politics, but all three careers (Buhari's, Atiku's and Kwankwaso's) could come to a tragic end if something dramatic and unusual does not happen to save the party from a damaging contest for the APC flag. PDP will not need to defeat APC in 2015: APC will lose all by itself in the manner it mismanages the great opportunity it has to change the course of Nigerian democracy.
Another unforced error that may only be manifest in the next few weeks will be in the candidature of President Jonathan. PDP big wigs think that they have acted in the tradition of their party which insists that you cannot say no to an incumbent president when he demands for another go. They went through the usual motion of mowing down all internal challenges, breached all the rules relating to campaigning, and they think they are now ready to face whoever and whatever APC throws at them. The PDP will not reveal its plan B, assuming, that is, it has one.
So you have to speculate whether it has contingency plans for the distinct possibility that the Supreme Court could strike down Jonathan's eligibility as a candidate in 2015. How does it plan to deal with rebellious first-term governors, senators and other legislators who now want a Jonathan treatment? How does it handle governors who want to choose successors? How would it handle fallouts from serving senators who will resist pack-and-go orders because outgoing governors want their seats? With its no-going-back-on-Jonathan posture, and assuming that he does cross the eligibility hurdle, does the PDP have all answers to APC's challenge? Could it have boxed itself into a corner by assuming that the APC will only field Buhari, and that it is inconceivable that Jonathan will lose to him? Could the party be guilty of underrating Buhari's popularity or potential to limit his electoral shortcomings; and overrating Jonathan's acceptability and the capacity of campaign managers to deliver on promises to weaken resistance against him in many parts of the nation? How would PDP react to the possible emergence of a dark horse from APC, a Northern Christian, a Southern Muslim or a Southern Christian from the Niger Delta as candidates? How flexible is PDP strategy, beyond the assumption that massive amounts of money can make major differences in the manner voters behave, INEC conducts elections, the direction security agents wield sticks and guns, and the judiciary is inclined?
Politicians do not have the luxury of taking decisions in a vacuum. They make good and poor judgement calls, and reap the benefits or pay huge prices for them. Because politics is about life, limbs and livelihoods, the public is usually the victim or beneficiary of failures or success of decisions of politicians. At this moment in our history, so much depends on the manner our leaders and politicians appreciate the total context of their actions and decisions. Unfortunately it is also the case that those who lead our nation and are about to determine its future have not demonstrated the levels of competence, commitment and vision that will guarantee that our fears over 2015 and beyond are misplaced.

- PreSonus has introduced its Universal Control 1.7 with integrated Rational Acoustics Smaart audio-analysis and optimization software, and has made a special limited-time offer to celebrate the release.
If you buy a StudioLive 24.4.2 digital mixer between March 1 and May 31, in addition to the mixer and software bundle, you will also receive a free PreSonus PRM1 precision reference microphone.
Smaart Measurement Technology provides a spectrograph and real-time analyzer (RTA) that let you see, graphically, what's going on in your mix and quickly fix frequency problems and squelch feedback. The new Universal Control 1.7 adds three Smaart wizards that make it easy to view the frequency response of a venue, quickly calculate and set delay-system timing, and verify output connectivity.
To use these new wizards, you'll need a reference, or "measurement" microphone like the PRM1—a super clean, omnidirectional mic with a flat frequency response for capturing the sound in the room as accurately as possible.
PreSonus normally offers the PRM1 reference mic for $99 U.S., but until May 31, you get it free with the purchase of a StudioLive 24.4.2.

In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. We are deploying our highest level critical thinking skills in this series to fight to ensure that we are not taken advantage of or exploited by information disparities. We don both defensive protective gear and offensive weaponry. On offense we thrust forward, probing, testing and examining content to discern if it should be defeated and discarded (as a lie) or retained and utilized in our lives in our mission to surpass our goals.
This is not a series for the weak minded or fearful as we will leave no stone unturned in our quest to ensure that we are not exploited, not ignored and not used as pawns by powerful people. Our education (formal and informal) is our most powerful weapon to equalize our opportunities for success (on our own terms).
Our episode today is, "It's complicated."
In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including:
1) No, it isn't.
2) This is a myth.
3) Why this is a euphemism for "Maybe" (Or "I don't want you to hate me." Or "I hate confrontation but I don't want this.").
4) Why this is a lie (myth sounds better).
5) Why this is popular (on social media and in real life).
6) How this myth makes your life worse.
7) Why you want to believe that this is not a myth.
8) How to stop using this in your life (and what alternatives exist).
9) When you should "give up" on people who keep telling you that "It's complicated."
10) Why this is cruel.
11) How to decipher what someone "really means" when they say this.
12) Does "It's complicated" transform into "Yes!" IF you are nice enough, patient enough, etc.?
13) Why you deserve better.
14) How to turn "It's complicated" into "It's simple."
In this show, it is simple. Join in!
* A stone is unit of measure equaling 14 pounds

It's interesting how Lego, originally targeted at boys, has feminised its offering. It's the reverse of the Nerf Guns and their Rebelle range now.
These were for a Lego and Friends themed party. The birthday girl adores the 5 main characters so cookies were made with edible images. I also made cake pops in the matching colour theme of purple, pink and white.
And a simple 6 inch cake to cut.
I could not stop singing THE song when I was making the cake. "Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me…"

|Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlight 2 Golden
|Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlight Gold
|Make Up For Ever Gold Highlight
I was first introduced to the Make Up For Ever Pro Fusion line in January with the Pro Fusion Bronzer in 30M Natural Matte Sienna, if you watch my YouTube Channel, you'd know this is a favourite of mine. The Pro Fusion line consists of a gel-powder texture. It is hard to describe but it feels very densely packed, incredibly smooth and with a great sheen. The Pro Fusion Highlighter is also talc free.
The Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlight is embossed with a wave pattern and because it is so densely packed the design does not disappear easily which I like. Depending on the amount of glow you prefer you can go in quite lightly with a fluffy brush that won't pick up much product or something more dense to really pack on the glow. It can be built up as well. It feels very smooth, with no glitter, just shine.
|Make Up For Ever Pro Fusion Highlight Golden
If you'd like to see the highlight in action I am wearing the Make Up For Ever Pro Fusion Highlight 2 Gold in my October Favourites Video.
|Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlight Comparisons
If you haven't already gathered I absolutely love this highlight. Although the price tag is up there I think you'd have a very hard time running through it and the quality is absolutely amazing. It can be used as a highlight on the face and body and it also makes a gorgeous eyeshadow. My advice would be to pick it up during the Sephora VIB Sale.

Stacy Hoff has a new book out, her first sports romance and it's sports romance with a difference. Plus Stacy is doing a giveaway of her action/adventure romance Desire in the Arctic.
Stacy, please tell us about Jockeying For You
JOCKEYING FOR YOU is my first sports romance. What's a bit different about JOCKEYING, versus typical sports fiction books, is that my athlete is the heroine instead of the hero.
I love this!
I love this!
Also different from traditional sports romance, the sport involved is horse racing. My heroine is a jockey. Or she used to be, before she fell off a horse during an important race. Now she is a horse trainer struggling with whether to get—literally and figuratively—back in the saddle.
Jake Carter is on a mission—to prove his family wrong. He may have bought a troubled horse, but he's hired Ryder Hannon, a "horse whisperer," to get his horse back on track. She's more than just
a trainer to him, she's the woman he's been looking for.
Ryder Hannon, a thoroughbred horse trainer, has a big problem—fighting her fear of racing again. Her emotional scars run deeper than her physical ones. But her romantic feelings towards handsome, uber-rich, stable owner Jake Carter is a bigger problem. Is Jake truly in love with her or is he using her to get back at his smug family?
When Jake's jockey gets injured, he wants Ryder to race. He knows deep down she wants to live up to her family's legacy. So why does she keep fighting him—and her destiny—so hard?
That's a wonderful blurb. I am definitely intrigued.
Excerpt from JOCKEYING FOR YOU
Jake felt his eyebrow arch up. "Dr. Doolittle, I presume?"
A slow smile spread across her lips.
"How far have you gotten with Handsome?"
"He'll let me ride him now."
Jake's eyebrows shot up to his hairline. "My God, Ryder, you're amazing," he exclaimed. With a shake of his head and a hard cough he corrected himself. "I mean, your results with him are amazing."
Ryder's grin was now Cheshire cat sized. "Thanks for both compliments."
Damn. She couldn't let my mistake go.
Then it hit him. His comment was a slip, but was it really a mistake? Her beautiful face, which had been beaming with pride now had a shy aspect that was even more endearing. She bore a schoolgirl's blush and averted her eyes from him as she busied herself petting Handsome's nose.
If only she could stroke me the same way. Though somewhere lower down than my nose. He tensed at the thought. Focus, Jake, damn it! This is business. "Show me," he said.
She blinked. "Show you what?"
"Show me Handsome Dancer can be ridden. I want you to ride him for me."
"Now? He's already had his exercise for today. I don't want to tire him out."
Handsome's head batted her shoulder with a determination that was comical.
"You know," Jake quipped, "if he actually understands you then you really are Dr. Doolittle."
"I'm sure he just wanted me to give him an apple." She wiped a stray blond bang from her hot forehead and looked the horse in one of his eyes. "What are you saying, babycakes? That you want to go on a short ride with me?"
Yes, yes, I do. Jake cleared his throat and gave her a tight smile. "Go ahead, you two. Impress me."
A few minutes later, he was outside the training track, his hands casually resting on the guardrail while he waited for the show to begin.
Soon, Ryder and Handsome entered the track. He heard her cluck her tongue at the horse, and then watched her lightly kick Handsome's rear. The horse took off around the track in a fast gallop. The horse's flight was fluid and astoundingly fast for what was supposed to be an easy go-around. She was doing more than merely riding Handsome Dancer. She was a part of him. One cohesive whole.
Thinking the demo was about to end, he had almost turned around to head back when something caught the corner of his eye. It was a flash of color, a fast burst of brown. What the . . . ? Whipping his head around to the source, he stared open-mouthed at the sight. Handsome Dancer was bolting down a stretch of training track at a speed unheard of for a newbie horse. Or maybe any horse. In all of Jake's experiences, he doubted he had seen a horse move that fast when not performing in an actual race.
Jockeying For You is 2.99 at Amazon Check out the first chapters. Sounds like a fun read. I do love the idea of the female jockey/trainer/heroine.
Stacy, please tell us a little about yourself.
I'm an attorney by day, a wife & mom in the evening, and a writer at night. I don't sleep much.
Other than your own, who are your favorite (heroes/heroines/writers) in your genre?
Nowadays I read my own genre very infrequently. My mind needs to escape contemporary romance when I'm on "free time." I usually pick up paranormals, although some historicals can sneak in. The exception to the rule: contemporary romances by Kristan Higgins. All of her books are fabulous.
I absolutely agree. Kristan will be back on the blog in January.
What is your favorite pastime, other than writing?
Art classes, which I go to about once a month. I love sketching and painting.
Oh, how I wish I could do that. So not my talent.
How do you motivate yourself when inspiration takes a vacation?
Mope around, hysterically crying my muse has died. When I'm done with my dramatics, I sit down and start typing. Sometimes forcing creativity is the only way to go.
Got a recipe you want to share?
I wouldn't call this a formal "recipe," but here's a quick-to-make pasta sauce for those who are tired of tomato:
Stacy's garlic-olive oil pasta sauce
Pour EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive oil for the uninitiated like me) into a large pot until the bottom is lightly covered. Heat until the oil is very hot (but not burned)
Add anywhere from a teaspoon to a table spoon of chopped garlic, depending on your taste & the quantity of your pasta (fresh garlic is better, but for those who have busy schedules, jarred is fine.)
Dash in: salt, pepper & basil (either dried or fresh)
Stir everything around until the garlic pieces have browned.
The sauce is now ready. Throw cooked pasta into the pot. (Heartier pasta like ziti or farfalle is recommended.) Stir the pasta around the heated oil mix until al the noodles are evenly coated.
Add parmesan cheese & serve.
By the way, this is a great dish to toss in your leftovers–everything from cut-up chicken pieces to veggies. (My kids love it when I toss chicken & broccoli into my EVOO garlic sauce pasta.) Sounds delicious. Must try.
Any advice for new writers just starting out?
The most important piece of advice I have is for them to stay with it. It took me years to catch on to writing commercial fiction. While I loved studying historic literary fiction as an English major in college, it did not help me understand how to produce for today's market. I tried, and failed, many times.
My second piece of advice is for them to join a writers society (like I did) to save time and frustration.
What genre or genres do you write?
I always write contemporary, although within contemporary I vary quite a bit. One of my books, LAWFULLY YOURS, is women's fiction, while my "Desire" series (DESIRE IN THE EVERGLADES and DESIRE IN THE ARCTIC) is action/adventure.
What's your current WIP?
My upcoming "Building Love" series should be a lot of fun because it's steeped in family drama, secrets and lies. Each book is set in the construction industry. After book 1, BUILDING LOVE IN VEGAS, comes out, BUILDING LOVE IN THE CARIBBEAN will follow.
And finally, where can we find you?
