Basemark X 1.0 has launched as a free app on the Google Play store today and it is one of the most demanding graphical benchmarks. Unlike other tests, this one is based on a real gaming platform, the Unity 4 engine. It goes through scenes similar to those in games with particle and lightning effects being tested, as well as post processing.
We ran it on a few of the devices we have around, and unsurprisingly the Galaxy S4 took it all. The Nexus 4 did extremely well in the on-screen test because of its lower resolution (in case you were wondering). Here are the results:
The benchmark is primarily designed for smartphones and tablets, and on Android it is optimized to run on 4.0 and newer versions.
It features an integrated score ranking, the Power Board, where you can take a look at a database of over 1000 devices and their performance. Developed in the home city of Nokia, in Espoo, Finland, Basemark X 1.0 is made by Rightware, a company licensing graphically heavy UI for mobile devices.
"Now anyone can measure, score and compare gaming performance of any platform and device. Combined with Power Board we are enabling the consumers to make informed buying decisions when choosing their next smartphone or tablet," Tero Sarkkinen, chief executive of Rightware said in a statement.

Computer safety is a concern for most parents, yet it can be difficult for parents to keep up with their children's internet safety and safety online. But when it comes to computer safety parents must be especially aware. Children are arriving on the social networking scene every day, sometimes without their parents' knowledge or approval. While social networking sites require children to be at least 13 or 14 in order to establish a page, many children are finding their way to the sites anyway. In fact, some parents have been known to open pages for their younger children, in order to get around a site's policy.

There are also introductory networking sites that cater specifically to the tween market, such as Club Penguin and Webkinz. The bottom line is tweens want to be a part of the social networking scene and expect to be allowed to participate. But Stacy Dittrich, a former law enforcement officer, author, and an expert in computer safety says parents of tweens should be especially careful when it comes to online life and their tweens.

Enforcing Computer Safety

Here's what Dittrich has to say on the topic of tweens and social networking, and on enforcing children's internet and computer safety.

The biggest misconception parents have in regards to social networking concerns predators. While about 5 percent of users who pose as tweens and other children are actually adults, the biggest issue concerning social networking and children has to do with cyberbullying. "Many of the problems that take place at school begin on a MySpace page or some other site," says Dittrich. "One student will talk trash about another online, and the next day there's trouble."

Parents cannot rely on law enforcement when their child is confronted by a predator or another aggressive child. "Law enforcement resources are very limited, and in many cases, there is no way to track who your child is connecting with, such as with online video games," Dittrich says. The best course of action is to prevent problems before they happen by explaining to your child that personal information should not be shared or published online.

Sex predators are turning to online video games because it is so difficult to track them.

There is absolutely no reason a tween should need or have a MySpace or Facebook page, says Dittrich. In fact, Dittrich is against them for any child under the age of 18. "There is absolutely no productive or positive outcome for anyone under the age of 18 to engage in social networking," says Dittrich. The drawbacks, however, include being subjected to harassment, sexual predators, and a lot of criticism.

Parents don't know enough about social networking and computer safety to fully monitor their children or guide them appropriately. The solution, says Dittrich, is to educate yourself. Parents should make sure they know the pages their children are viewing online, and track them if necessary. "Take a class, read a book, or ask your child to sit down with you and show you where the children are going online and what they are saying about each other."

Parents should put the computer in a centralized area, such as the kitchen, in order to keep up with their children's habits and enforce computer safety. "There is no benefit to having your child locked in her room for two hours by herself on her computer."

Parents should take advantage of parental blocks that track a child's computer history, showing exactly where she's been online.

Social networking sites such as Club Penguin are attractive to tweens largely because of the games and the cute avatars the children use to represent them in the penguin world. Keep in mind, however, that some of those cute penguin avatars might actually be adults, so children should never reveal any personal information about themselves, where they live, their phone numbers, or even their gender.

Keeping one's stationery and accessories in the right place is important for they need to come handy when needed. I always rearrange stuff neatly on my desk only to find it dispersed in all directions minutes later. If you're looking for an alternative to a secretary to take care of your mundane chores, I'd suggest you get "The Office" that consist a family of functional units that help to keep your table organized.
The units have been named as Pat, Bob, Edward, James, Valery and Big Bob. Well, don't even try drawing a nexus between their names and functions. As seen in the images, product line has a dedicated contoured space for 5 different items like Pen, paper clips, post its, phone and a small note and small notepad. These products combined the aesthetics of high end architecture with a gentle feel.
The designer firm behind this is Umamy which previously tossed out the "just born" family wherein the products looked as if they are still in the process of being created so that users understand the transition between crude form to the final product in detail.

Sports for a Cause is a Denver, Colorado based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization created by Brandon Tosti. Tosti resides in Denver, Colorado, and has been employed in the sports industry for over seven years. The project was inspired by an article that Tosti read in an August 2007 issue of Sports Illustrated. The graphic pictures provided a shocking reality of the state of New Orleans schools and youth athletic facilities nearly 2 ½ years after the storm. Knowing that many people wanted to help but didn't know how or where to start, Tosti realized that the sports industry provided the perfect mix of knowledge, experience and networks necessary to successfully execute a project of this magnitude.
The program's purpose is to provide athletic opportunities for youth, which currently do not exist in certain neighborhoods. Some playgrounds are still condemned and some schools will have to be demolished. Shortly thereafter, he called the Recovery School District, Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation to start the research and fact finding process that led to the establishment of the organization, Sports for a Cause.
Since 2007, we have been able to assist multiple schools and recreational programs with sports equipment donations. To date, we have donated over $100,000 in used and new equipment and led six volunteer trips to New Orleans. We are very grateful for all of our donors and volunteers, because without their support none of this would be possible. If you would like to get involved or host an equipment drive at your office, please contact us via e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com. Below is a list of organizations that have received donations thus far.
How can you get involved?
Here a few ideas and please contact us with any questions or ideas.
1) Equipment drive – We conduct these 1-3 times per year to collect sports equipment for both Denver and New Orleans schools.
2) Volunteer trip – Join us for a rebuilding volunteer trip to New Orleans (2 times per year – typically March and October)
3) Cajun Classic Charity Cornhole Tournament – This is our signature fundraising event.
4) Volunteer project – Assist with a volunteer project at a Denver school.

Can you believe it, little old me, the coconutgoddess, has a boyfriend?
In this experiment on love, I have learned a lot about myself.
This is the year I turn 40. And yes, I know "age ain't nothing but a number", but it is still defining point in my life. {In fact it is a little bit of an issue for me in my relationship. (not Matt – he doesn't really see our age difference, this one is all me and my head) Moving on…} With anything new, there are insecurities that come up to the surface. Even seemingly simple moments like, finding myself missing my man, make me stop and think. "who am I? I am not that girl? I don't miss a man, long for them, get all giddy at the thought of them, smiley when I talk to them? I am not that girl!" But to be honest, I don't even really know what that means. Does being "that girl" mean I lose who I am somehow? I have been there before and don't want to go back. I like who I am.
So in this experiment on love, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my life, who I am, where I want to be and who I want to be. I have learned a lot about myself. And with that learning, I have made some commitments to myself. And I have learned, that I CAN BE "THAT GIRL"… and still be me.
This is the year that I have committed to live my most bold, authentic, free, fun and fearless
To believe, be, play, desire, love, work, create, and grow on my terms.
But what does that mean, really?
Like I have said before on this blog. I want to have a life full of love. I want my children to never wonder if they are loved. I want them to always know that everything I do is for them. That they are my life and my world… and that I will always be here to protect them, teach them, love them, and yes have fun with them.
I also want love thats on my terms. I find myself in this "modern love story" and I don't want to wake up from the dream. It's exciting, and fun, romantic, and passionate… and it is I believe very real. I have jumped and now I am splashing away enjoying every moment of it. And you know what, its ok to be "that girl". I do miss my guy when he's away. I do think about him and it warms my heart, I smile like a 16 year old with a crush when I talk to him. And I think I am ok with that. Just because I am all those things, doesn't mean I am not me. I am just a little more fluffy…lol.
Something I am working on is being more fully accepting of love. I have so much to give, but its still hard for me to take it all in. To not question motive or sincerity. I realize that it is something in ME that does this. So this will be a work in progress.
Fun – I want to have a fun year. I am a fun person… I really am. And I think most people in my life know this. But recently – life's problems and issues have put a damper on my fun side. So I am making a commitment to just sit back and enjoy all that life has to offer even when life is challenging. That means not taking myself so seriously. That means not sweating the small stuff. That also means comic con, movie premiers and all the fairs and festivals I can get to!
Creative – I have not felt very creative. The ebb and flow of my creativity has really been on a low simmer a long while now. But I am not going to sweat it. My creativity will flow again, this I know. What form, what that means – I have to wait to find out.
Music – along the lines of feeding my creative spirit comes more music. I have reconnected with my music recently. It is a direct line to my emotions, so I think I have set it aside so that I would not have to face them. But I am now in a place where I want to express myself again through my music. Not for fame or money, but simply for me.
Beliefs – I have challenged my own belief system this year. This does not change the fact that I am a member of the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am a modern mormon woman. I have deep faith but I don't follow blindly. I am imperfect in many ways. But I love my God and I believe I have a personal relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ. I love unconditionally, and sometimes that means I don't alway agree. But I will always err on the side of love.
More than anything.. this is my year to be me. To have the love and life I have always wanted. To be sexy without apology, to be geeky without shame, driven in my career, "become Aphrodite" through my training, and most of all – to love without limit.

If Robin Williams can't be as long-winded as he likes, he'd rather sit it out.
The Oscar winner was forced to cancel four Florida performances of his one-man show, Weapons of Self-Destruction, after experiencing shortness of breath, according to a statement released by his rep.
A doctor advised Williams, who's in the middle of an 80-city tour, to rest up for a week before returning to the stage.
Shows that were to take place Wednesday and Thursday in Hollywood, Fla., Friday in Orlando and Saturday in Tampa will be rescheduled, and tickets for those performances will be honored at the new ones. Williams is expected to retake the stage Monday in Jacksonville.
The 57-year-old funnyman's last stand-up tour was in 2002, and tickets for the Broadway leg of this road trip sold out so quickly that another three dates were tacked on in April to meet demand.

Seth Gabel talks Fringe legacy and features in first look Arrow villain photos.
via EW:
"I was always prepared for my Fringe journey to end immediately. I had only signed up for a guest role but they kept bringing me back in the third season as a recurring character. So pretty much every time I went to film a Fringe episode I kind of said goodbye to the show, but then they kept bringing me back. But [now that it's over] it feels really great to have a sense that I was part of this show that was a phenom and will hopefully have a lasting impact for the genre audience — and the drama audience in general."

Dustin Lance Black takes the wind out of Sam Smith's Oscar sails and tells him to stop texting his fiancé Tom Daley
Sam Smith has been receiving a lot of flack over his Best Original Song win at the Oscars, not least from Dustin Lance Black.
Smith won the Oscar for 'Writing's on the Wall' which he penned as Bond film Spectre's theme tune, beating Lady Gaga's Till It Happens to You from The Hunting Ground and Earned it from 50 Shades of Grey.
During his acceptance speech he said, "I read an article a few months ago by Sir Ian McKellen, and he said that no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar, and if this is the case, even if it isn't the case, I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world."
McKellan, however, had been specifically referring to the Best Actor Oscar.
Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé. Here's a start: https://t.co/8hGTRtIaMK— Dustin Lance Black (@DLanceBlack) February 29, 2016
Previous winners in the Best Original Song category alone include gay men Elton John and Stpehen Sondheim. Howard Ashman also won two Oscars for best Original Song and Melisas Etheridge won in 2006.
Dustin Lance Black also won for screenwriting in 2009 for Milk and he wasn't going to let this one go...
"Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé," he wrote on Twitter, attaching a link to his own Oscars acceptance speech.
By his fiance he is referring to British Olympic diver Tom Daley.
According to Entertainment Weekly, when he was told of his mistake backstage, Smith said, "S**t! F*** that! Two's my lucky number, so it's all good. Who was the other person?"
Reaction on Twitter has been unsurprisingly hilarious.

Story highlights
- More than 65 people were wounded
- July was the deadliest month in Iraq in years
At least 17 people were killed and more than 65 injured in Iraq on Tuesday in shootings and explosions, police officials said.
The deadliest attacks took place in Maysan, some 365 kilometers (227 miles) southeast of Baghdad.
The officials said two car bombs exploded there -- one near a hospital, one on a busy commercial street. The explosions killed seven people and wounded more than 35, they said.
July was the deadliest month in Iraq in the last five years since the peak of sectarian violence in 2006 and 2007. According to the United Nations, 1,057 Iraqis were killed and another 2,326 were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence last month.

Okmulgee YMCA swim team building positive experiences
Okmulgee Swim instruction at Okmulgee YMCA Photo by Paul Orosco - ONN Chief Photographer
Did you know that modern swim instruction was invented at the YMCA? Maybe this is why so many people have learned to swim at the Y, and continue to come back to enjoy our outstanding facilities.
And did you know that modern swim safety programs were invented at the YMCA? This must be why so many people rely on the YMCA to keep their families safe.
The Aquatics programs of the YMCA of Okmulgee are about more than just the techniques and skills; they are about building friendships, developing self-esteem, and creating positive experiences that will last a lifetime.
Brian Thomason, Fireman and Pastor Richard Manning, Calvary Baptist Church are coaching a YMCA swim team.
In their regular line of work as a pastor and fireman, technically some may say they are both "First Responders". They are teaching the competitiveness of swimming and their students are working hard while having fun at it.

Newspaper gets it right on wildfire
Smoke from Trapper Ridge Fire. Photo by John McCarthy.
The Daily Courier in Prescott, Az., published two pieces last week that could not make for better guides on how the press should cover the role wildfires play in improving the health of our forests and our communities.
Though it's often a difficult concept to explain because people are understandably wary of wildfires, the truth is that some wildfires that don't threaten people or property can actually be good things.
The Daily Courier reported on June 4 that Forest Service officials are not opting for the knee-jerk reaction of trying to suppress a wildfire in a remote area of the Prescott National Forest. Instead, they are making use of clearer policy guidelines the agency issued recently that make it easier for on-the-ground fire managers to choose to monitor a fire that doesn't threaten communities. That kind of a fire plays a key role in restoring forests and clearing out underbrush that could cause much bigger fires later.
Three days later, The Daily Courier ran an editorial calling wildfire a friend of the forest. It addressed the age-old issue of human fear head on.
According to the editorial, "That fear has lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem and brought about the need for prescribed burns which help remove dead vegetation, invigorate plant and animal communities, promote a healthy watershed and return fire to its natural role in the ecosystem. These burns also reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire."
The Daily Courier's coverage represents the latest evidence that the media and the general public are better understanding the views and policy changes The Wilderness Society has long championed. The Silver City Sun-News in New Mexico also published an article last weekend explaining the merits of the Forest Service making the same decisions on the Gila National Forest that the agency is using on the Prescott.
Fire isn't a panacea for all of our forest woes and safeguarding lives remains job one. But the more the media moves away from sensational coverage of wildfires that don't pose danger to communities, the better the public's knowledge of wildfire's natural role in the environment will be. That means more support for smart fire management and better prospects for more healthy forests — and fewer firefighters putting their lives at risk.

A couple of weeks ago, when Anne sent me a link to "The Only Ice Cream Recipe You'll Ever Need" according to The New York Times, I invited her to spend the day in Annapolis & make it with me. I picked her up from the metro and headed back down to the sailing city. Anne, who is French by the way, always brings a gift when she comes over. This time she brought French cookies. Of course. She makes us all look bad with her good manners and decorum. So after devouring way too many French cookies, we headed to Fresh Market to pick up our ingredient list. Oh, we also picked up a freshly baked, soft pretzel and creme filled doughnut from the Amish market. Decadence. I had to show her around. How do you skip a local favorite?
So let me repeat that for you… We had French cookies for breakfast, a pretzel & doughnut for lunch, and then we made THIS peanut butter ice cream. With pourable ganache (which by the way is mouthgasmic… pure, spoonable decadence – I am not joking.). It is a day that will live on in infamy for it's decadence.
Of course, it turns out, I didn't follow the NYT recipe at all. In fact, I turned the other cheek at it's advice & direction. And I didn't regret it. I do plan to make "The Master Recipe" at some point though. How could I not try the only ice cream recipe I'll supposedly EVER need??? Plus, the picture in the article is just so darn luscious.
Also, turns out, we didn't parcel our time very well and Anne didn't even get to try this incredible peanut butter ice cream. Instead, we went to dinner at Vin 909 (If you're ever in the area I highly recommend it) where we proceeded to eat amazing real food and also butterscotch pudding. The best in the world, I might add. So really, neither of us were hurting for ice cream at the end of the day.
In other news…
I shot this Peanut Butter Ice Cream recipe THREE times. For you. So you have something nice to look at. And so you think I take pretty pictures. That's the real reason. I just want you to like me. And my pictures. Can I say "Lol" on a blog?
Light is everything for a picture… something you probably already know. And something you don't know… I currently live in the woods. You learn more about me every day! I also love ellipses (just like I love parenthesis). What does living in the woods mean? An incredible amount of beautiful foliage and a minuscule amount of pure, unadulterated sunlight. I also (currently) only shoot in natural light. Because I can't afford the high-tech, fancy artificial lights that everyone recommends. To the point! Chasing light in this house is like a full on marathon. In the morning I shoot upstairs in my bedroom in the window on the left side of the East-facing wall (mouthful). Around noon I have to switch to the window on the right side of the East-facing wall. In the afternoon I shoot downstairs in the living room in front of the South-facing window. It's how I get my exercise. And why I had to shoot this Peanut Butter Ice Cream THREE times before I got it (mostly) right.
This peanut butter ice cream is indeed decadent. It's practically pudding when it melts. IT IS NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART.

The two pictured above are from a set of 4, each representing a season of the year depicted through agricultural images. Sowing Seed. Reaping Wheat. Picking Grapes. Chopping Wood. Check them out here.
- 2 Cups Cream
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 1 Vanilla Bean
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ⅔ Cup Brown Sugar
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Cup Homemade Peanut Butter, can also use Natural
- ⅓ Cup Chocolate Chips, semisweet (Guittard)
- 3 Tablespoons Whole Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, salted
- 2 Cups Dry Roasted Peanuts, unsalted (preferably organic)
- 1 - 2 Teaspoons Honey
- Salt to Taste, about ½ teaspoon
- To Make the Peanut Butter, add peanuts to food processor and process for approximately 10 minutes (all peanuts are different - varying oil content, varying roast), stopping occasionally to scraped down sides.

Heat over medium-low until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale yellow and thicker in consistency (about 5 minutes). Slowly add the warm milk mixture, a very small amount at first to temper the eggs, into the egg yolks & continue to whisk until all is combined. Whisk in the peanut butter & the maple syrup. Pour back into saucepan and heat over medium-low for 10 minutes or until mixture becomes noticeably thicker and evenly coats the back of a wooden spoon. Let cool. Pour into a lidded container and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Pour the mixture into you ice cream maker & follow the directions for you particular machine. Should take about 15 minutes until it reaches the proper consistency! Store in freezer. DUH.
- To Make the GANACHE/Fudge Sauce, create a makeshift doubler boiler (or use a real one) by placing a glass or metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Add chocolate chips, whole milk, and butter to the bowl. Stir or whisk until everything is melted and smooth.
- Spoon ice cream into bowl or cone. Pour extra ganachey fudge sauce over top of ice cream. Enjoy your new favorite happy place.
If you have leftover ganache, store it in the fridge. When ready to use again, microwave for 30 second increments until melted or melt in double boiler or small saucepan.

Anthony Vaccarello collaborates with Lancôme
Italian designer Anthony Vaccarello has expanded his efforts from fashion design to makeup collections
Six days after his Autumn Winter 2015 collection walked the runway, Anthony Vaccarello announced his partnership with French fragrance and cosmetics brand Lancôme. The two will be launching a limited-edition makeup range in October this year.
"I was inspired by the Lancôme woman's femininity and charisma – a special kind of elegance that's never lifeless nor frozen. For me, Lancôme embodies the philosophy of understated beauty: It's something quintessentially French," said Anthony in a statement.
His partnership with Lancôme isn't the only collaboration he's done. Anthony has also teamed up with Donatella Versace for Versus Versace, and is now the label's permanent designer.

Education Celebrations: VISD offers food program to kids during summer
By Diane Boyett
July 13, 2014 at 2:13 a.m.
The recent Facebook and media coverage of two Victoria police officers who went out of their way to help a family in need provided another reminder that even in a robust economy, there are still children who go hungry.
Everyone who works with children in Victoria was no doubt applauding their kindness.
We know that when school is out, many children in Victoria go without nutritious meals. We have been so fortunate to work with the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent and the Summer Feeding Program to provide food to children who might otherwise go without during the summer months.
During the past two decades, Victoria ISD has provided nutritious breakfast and lunch meals at no charge to children up to the age of 18 who come to one of the summer feeding sites. The summer feeding costs are underwritten as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program. Child Nutrition Director Dana Bigham said during June, almost 2,400 meals are served on a daily basis.
Some of the feeding sites are at VISD schools while others are operated in partnership with local organizations. This year, 16 sites are open, including Hopkins, Crain, F.W. Gross, Shields, Rowland and Smith elementary schools, as well as Patti Welder Middle School, Liberty Academy and Victoria East High School. Our community partner sites include the Church of Christ, Houston House Apartments, YMCA, Fox Run Apartments, Victoria Christian School on Colorado Street, Faith Family Church and Trinity Episcopal Church.
With two exceptions, the summer feeding program will continue weekdays through Aug. 8. The Church of Christ on Airline location will close Thursday. The Trinity Episcopal location is open July 14 to 18 only.
For serving times for breakfast and lunch, check the Summer Feeding Program information on the VISD website.
Fridays, the Child Nutrition Department partners with the Food Bank to pass out backpacks at Rowland, Hopkins, F.W. Gross and Shields elementary schools. In June, almost 500 backpacks went home with registered students to help them have quality foods on the weekend. The backpack program is made possible through the generosity of community support of the food bank.
If adults wish to have lunch with their child at any of our feeding sites, the meal charge is $3.50.
Nelson Mandela said, "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."
In Victoria, we have been blessed with people who truly care about children and want to nurture them in a way so they can grow up to be caring adults. We truly appreciate the efforts of those many people who work, usually behind the scenes, to make lives better for our children. Your efforts may not make the news, but you can end the day knowing you did make a positive difference. You are worthy of celebration.
Diane Boyett is the communications director for Victoria school district. Con tact her at email@example.com.

It's over: American English has won
And not because it's better.
But because in Britain – or at least in England, which of course gave rise to it – we have abandoned the very thing that binds us as a people, that stiffens the backbone of our culture, and that marks us out as the country which did most to kick-start the formation of the modern world.
Not that we should be proud of all of that, but we should at least be proud of the thing I'm talking about here: our language. English. British English. Or, as it really is (cue patriotic drumroll), English English.
But that pride has gone now, torn to pieces and abandoned to pick its path slowly along a miserable gutter to the darkest of sewers. Because we have succumbed to the utterly morose. We're beyond caring. We'd rather be idle, dim, cheap – we want the easy way out. We want convenience, and to get it we're prepared to tolerate the banal. We're prepared to gaze lazily upon centuries of history and scoff slovenly.
And the reason I say this, the reason that the tipping point of the true English language's fall from grace is now behind us, is that Waterstone's has dropped its apostrophe. Which is incorrect. One of the country's foremost providers of books (yes, books, full of the supposed English language, source of intellect, where we expect our language to be beyond reproach) thinks apostrophes have no point any more because too few people understand them these days and digital media doesn't register them as well as it does words without them.
So 'people' need to learn their own language and digital media needs to grow a brain.
I don't care if Mr Waterstone hasn't worked there for years. An apostrophe is an apostrophe. English is English. Wrong is wrong.
Anyone who has read Bill Bryson's excellent Mother Tongue (probably available at Waterstone's, but beware the crowds of punctuation-hating moronic shoppers if you elect to visit and buy a copy) may have considered that American English is 'purer' than British English these days anyway.
Yes American English may be a little laughable to us Brits, but our own language has been subject to whims and fashion for generations, so we can hadly criticise. It's just different.
And now, given the irreperable rot that has set in with the original, I think the only thing I can do to preserve my sanity is to cross the pond, linguistically speaking. American English may be a bit sloppy in places, but at least punctuation and grammar hold firm, even if the sentence structure is somewhat 'out to lunch'. From now on, I may as well just use (shudder, horror, the turning of souls in their graves) American English.
So, Waterstone's, let this sorry episode be a lesson to you. And if the apostrophe has truly gone, and it's not set to later return to raise suspicions of a planned PR exercise, at least update your web site rather than commiting brand inconsistency too.
No good can come of this.
Although for Daily Telegraph readers, as least it has provided an opportunity for another picture of Cheryl Cole.
And if this is all a PR stunt, should I undertake my own, visiting branches across the country to put the poor little blighters back?

Although theirs might not be household names, there are a handful of players throughout Tennessee who are putting up big numbers this season.
• Bo Cordell, Tusculum
Through 10 games he is second among Division II quarterbacks with 35 passing touchdowns — and 20 percent of those came in one game. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound sophomore tossed seven touchdowns — school and South Atlantic Conference records — in a victory over Brevard on Oct. 30. The Cincinnati native was the league's Freshman of the Year in 2009 and hasn't disappointed this season. He has a nation-high 4,258 passing yards. He has thrown for at least 400 yards in nine straight games, also a school and league record, and has passed for more than 500 yards twice. He is a candidate
for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which goes to Division II's top player.
• Joel Bradford, Tennessee-Chattanooga
The Chattanooga native is second in the FCS with 118.3 receiving yards a game. The junior, who played defensive back in 2009, has 70 catches for 1,065 yards and seven touchdowns. He has twice gone over the 250-yard receiving mark this season. He caught a career-high 15 passes for a school-record 274 yards in a win against Furman on Oct. 23.
• Derrick Williams, Bethel
The cornerback has picked off nine passes this season, which is a school record and tied for most in the NAIA. Williams, a junior from Shreveport, La., has intercepted five passes in his last two games — three against Faulkner and two versus Kentucky Christian.
• Michael Tribue, Carson-Newman
The McGavock graduate had one of the best years for an offensive lineman in 2009. He was named an All-American and was awarded the South Atlantic Conference's Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which goes to the league's top offensive lineman. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound senior and the Eagles' offensive front have picked up where they left off last year, as their 297.1 rushing yards per game ranks third in Division II.
• Gareth Rowlands, Tusculum
When the Pioneers aren't scoring touchdowns, they're making plenty of field goals. Rowlands' 19 this fall is tied for the most in the nation. The kicker from Wales has missed just four attempts. He has made 6-of-8 over 40 yards, including a season-long 47 yarder. He holds eight different school records.

SCED 200L Liberal Studies Colloquium: American Democracy: Problems & Prospects
4 credits
Baker, Rob
Prerequisite: ENGL 101E
The foundation of the adult degree program and an intellectual orientation to Wittenberg for adults—but also open to traditional students, particularly transfers seeking to meet the Integrated Learning (L-course) requirement. The Colloquium—Latin for "speaking togetherâ€â€"introduces students to a mature level of critical thinking, research processes, and both written and oral expression. In this semester's version, we'll pursue this development through the study of the topic American Democracy: Problems and Prospects.
While the rest of the world looks to America as a model of democracy, we ourselves experience a growing sense of unease about our system and disconnection from its founding ideas and aspirations. Some thinkers even conclude that the pressures and challenges confronting us in recent times threaten the vitality or even the continuation of the system. To gain a clearer understanding of this situation, we will study some essentials of democratic theory. We will use this base to examine key challenges that have presented themselves in our time—shifts in the separation of powers, radical individualism, decreasing citizen participation, and trivialized election campaigns. We will use the criteria of democratic theory to assess these challenges, with the goal of arriving at an intelligent understanding of our evolving system and perhaps some ideas for improving it. The course uses the @witt@home format, combining limited classroom meetings and web-supported interactive work.

An unassuming and quiet man (Paul Giamatti), who works as an apartment building superintendent, rescues an unusual young woman (Bryce Dallas Howard) and discovers that she's actually a character from a bedtime story. Moreover, it seems the apartment building residents are also characters in the same story and they have to help the young woman return to her own world for everyone's sake. Also with Freddy Rodriguez, Jeffrey Wright and Bob Balaban. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan. [1:50]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A young woman wears short and low-cut tops that reveal cleavage, bare back and abdomen in several scenes. A young woman stands nude in front of a man (we see her bare legs) and he asks her to cover herself up. It is implied that a young woman is nude, and wears only a man's shirt through the entire movie (her bare legs to the thigh are visible). We see a bare-chested man wearing boxer shorts swimming in a pool.
► A man and a young woman hug. A young woman hugs a man and caresses him around the neck and head.
► A man wakes up on his sofa and a young woman is asleep with her legs draped across his lap and resting her head on his shoulder.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A wolf-like creature snarls at a man, the man turns to run and the creature attacks and kills him (we hear the man scream and see him being pulled down). Three monkey-like creatures jump out of trees and attack a wolf-like creature (we hear pounding and squishing and see them drag it into the thick woods).
► A wolf-like creature grabs and drags a young woman through tall grass (the woman is unconscious and has large cuts on her legs). A wolf-like creature breaks through a glass window snarling and snapping and trying to reach a young woman (she gets away). We see the glowing red eyes of a wolf-like creature hiding in the grass: the creature rises and a man faces it, the creature lunges toward him and we see the man lying face down on a patio (the creature is gone and the man is unharmed).
► A wolf-like creature walks toward a man and a young woman but it is steered away by another man. A young woman runs into an apartment building whimpering and crying, with large scratches on her legs from a wolf-like creature that attacked her.
► A man carries a sleeping young woman out of his apartment and toward a swimming pool, he hears snarling and deep growling coming from the tall grass around it, and we see a dark, wolf-like creature moving toward them; the young woman wakes up and screams, and the man screams and runs carrying her back inside, while the creature lunges at them.
► A wolf-like creature prowls in the grass surrounding a swimming pool through much of the movie and we hear it snarling and growling. Something moves in a dark swimming pool and a man goes in to investigate afraid that whoever it is, is drowning.
► A man slips on the side of a pool, falls hard on the cement and rolls into the pool unconscious (we see him unharmed in his bed later). A man swims through a pool drain, along a passageway and into a room where he becomes stuck when the door jams; he struggles to get the door open before he drowns (he does get out).
► A young woman has a large cut on her leg that does not appear to heal. Several people scream because of a large hairy bug that is under their cabinets, and a man kills the bug with a broom handle (he has to hit it repeatedly to kill it and the people scream with each blow).
► We see drawings of wolf-like creatures attacking humanoid beings and we see one wolf holding a being in its mouth. Several people carrying household implements (brooms and mops) patrol around a swimming pool.
► A man vomits at a party after drinking too much alcohol (we see the goo and hear the gagging).
► We hear that a man's wife and children were murdered during a robbery. We hear that the scratch from a wolf-like creature is poisonous. We hear a woman talking about a smell from a neighboring apartment and that she fears something may have died in there. A woman talks about her husband having a growth on his buttocks.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

My neighbour Gisela informed me today about plants. "They are as different as human beings or animals. Some of them can be dominant, if they are cut down, they draw the strength of other plants by their roots!"
Dr. Schreck has a similar story: "What if the plant was to protect itself?"

Does the Caveman Diet Work?
One of the current trends in the eating world is known as the caveman diet. So what are paleo diets and does it work? Let's first examine what it is. The paleo caveman diet is one that focuses on eating much like the caveman did. It takes away foods that are considered unnatural to the body and replaces them with all natural foods that have been around for centuries. This includes eating more wild game meat and less of the processed stuff found in the stores.
So does the paleo diet meal plan work? In order to assess that, you have to know what the goal is. The purpose of eating caveman foods is not an answer to excess weight. While some may find that they lose weight with this diet, it isn't designed as a quick method to weight loss. It is instead set up to create a healthy eating habit that will stick around. Full body health is the goal and the consumption of only caveman foods is the method being used.
The purpose of the diet is to return people to their optimum health. It is believed that many of today's foods go beyond being unhealthy. They also are unnatural and that causes health concerns. The caveman diet is not only about losing weight. In fact, much of it isn't. It is geared more towards a whole body health than anything else.
The theory is that when you take the processed and unnatural foods out of your diet then your body will become healthier. You will be taking in food the way it was intended to be. Everything will be natural instead of filled with chemicals and dyes. Many have tried the diet and been pleased with the results. Whether or not you find the diet to be beneficial will depend on your goals and how well you do at completely changing your eating habits.

Thoughts on Texas Mastercraft looking to purchase?
Looking to purchase an MB boat from Texas Mastercraft just want to no what every one thinks, or any dealings people have had with them so far . So far they have been awesome to me just want to make sure to check with others before stepping in the ring.
there sales might be awesome, but there service bl@ws. i called for 2 weeks trying to get some simple parts for my x80, and never could get them to call me back. ended up using a place in Charlotte NC. that place by fare is the most amazing mastercraft dealership ive ever delt with. but thats another story. good luck with your mb i hope everything works out. ive heard there great boats!!! robby
lol no im not lon, if thats what your asking. just another tool with a x80 lol
Hahaha Elliot great reply
This thread needs more spray tan and fist pumping
Robby, I just had to say it. Great reply by the way.
ill be the first to admitt. the x80 is a b*tch to wakeboard behind,unless you like boarding at close to 30mph. not to bad to surf behind but you have to turn into it a little to clean it up. thats with 0 ballast. i have no idea what it does with some weight. but i plan on finding out. i think if i add 1000lbs or more of ballast in the front of the boat i can get a clean wake at speeds around 20-23 but its still going to be a country mile from wake to wake. i wish there was a few more people on here that had one so i didnt have to do so much trial and erra. but if i cant get it to work i still got my trusty 247 for a backup. i will say they, theres not another boat in the same league as the x80 if you want a all around party boat/pretend wakeboard boat/pretend surf boat!
the guys at texas mastercraft are super awesome they always have been nice to me and i have never had ay problems
Pull the trigger, great people at TXMC/MB and they'll love to upgrade your boat in the future too;)
Not sure about the service dept, if they would stop repairing all the other boat manufacture that is brought to them because they're more competent than other service dept. turn around time would be better for MC/MB
Just one other note, is there another MB dealer in the area?
Thanks everyone. I live in Oklahoma and that is the closet MB dealer. I am going to test drive on Saturday. In Oklahoma its almost better in my opion to go to Texas because they have every different dealer , and it gives me an accuse to drive 3 hours to go and have fun.
I think you should buy your buddy who's going to be nice enough to try the surf wave in frigid feburary a large steak dinner for his skilled insight and review.
Also, get the tomcat so I have a place to nap and stretch out in the bow.
I say yes to the steak and the and MB. Also its nice to have a friend who is willing to turn into a ice-cube.
Daniel is 3'11" tall should be ok just a little cramped
Not to get off topic...but it amazes me that I have yet to see any wakeboard boats outside of the big 3 & a few Tiges here in my area of FL and all these lakes in 9 yrs. never seen an MB, Axis, moomba, supra etc. Not even used ones.
Seen just about every make and model here in VA. Maybe only 1 Sanger,but can't recall seeing a Epic at the lake,but i've seen them at boat shows here.
there is an MB dealer in Pantego/Arlington on 303
the Texas Mastercraft guys are great guys
guys at TXMC are great. Never used the service dept. though. Mike, Brian, Craig, and all the guys are great to deal with. Nothing but good things to say about the guys up there.
I bought my MasterCraft from TexasMC and I had a great buying experience...my X15 was previously enjoyed and TXMC was awesome. They went above and beyond to help safey ship it to Georgia.
I love hearing all this great feed back. Thanks

A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won't repost it?
Repost this if you truly believe in God.
PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what,
Sincerely, DGMLover12564
