Planescape: Torment Arrives on GOGBy Alice O'Connor, Sep 28, 2010 7:28am PDT
Any ill will Good Old Games might have earned by faking its own closure to drum up publicity for a relaunch is now certain to be washed away, as the virtual vintage video game vendor today added the hallowed RPG Planescape: Torment to its catalogue.
It's available now for $9.99 and, in true GOG form, comes DRM-free, packing extras including the soundtrack, artwork and a novelisation based upon the game's script.
Developed by Fallout creator Black Isle Studios, Torment has often been praised for its story, writing and numerous ways to play but sadly slipped through the cracks and has been unavailable for many years. It's a fantastic game and one you should definitely try.
To make it even better, download the Ultimate WeiDU Fixpack v4.11 for modders' fixes to scores of bugs. You'll also want The Bigg's Widescreen Mod to add support for modern resolutions and GhostDog's UI mod to make the UI scale accordingly.

I don't finish very many RPGs but this one held me utterly captivated the whole way through. It also (at the time) had the most impressive voice-acting cast I'd ever heard: Dan Castellenata (Homer, from The Simpsons) played a Quirky Modron, Mitch Pileggi (X-files) played a Githzerai warrior, Sheena Easton (formerly hot 80's pop star) played a devilish Tiefling, and John Delancie (sp?) who played "Q" in ST:TNG played a Deva in the game. Just awesome all around.

Tiger Cub Lee Ainslie's Small Cap Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
By going through quarterly 13F filings from hundreds of hedge funds and other notable investors, we've found that their most popular small cap stocks outperform the S&P 500 by an average of 18 percentage points per year. We think that this is because large institutional investors (such as mutual funds) and the financial media tend to pay less attention to small cap stocks, which leads to them more often being mispriced, and therefore serving as an attractive long (or short) opportunity.
Investors can also screen individual funds' filings for small cap stocks and do further research on any interesting names which they might not have heard of. Read on for out quick take on Tiger Cub Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital's five largest small cap holdings as of the end of March (or see the full list of the fund's stock picks).
Maverick increased the size of its position in Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) by 21%, to a total of nearly 9 million shares. The second quarter of the semiconductor company's fiscal year ended in March, with Skyworks reporting a 17% increase in its revenue versus a year earlier and a large percentage gain on the bottom line as well. Wall Street analysts are quite optimistic about the company, and so, while the trailing earnings multiple is a bit outside value territory at 17, the stock is priced at 9 times forward earnings estimates and a five-year PEG ratio of 0.60.
MGIC Investment (NYSE: MTG) is up over 80% year to date, bringing it to a market capitalization of $2 billion; Ainslie and his team disclosed ownership of about 24 million shares in the 13F after not having owned any of the stock at the beginning of 2013. The provider of mortgage insurance is likely seen as benefiting from an improving housing market, even though recent reports haven't quite shown the business improving yet. We'd note that the stock has a beta of 3.9, reflecting extreme dependence on broader economic conditions.
The fund initiated a position of 2.5 million shares in hospital company Community Health Systems (NYSE: CYH) between January and March. There was very little growth in revenue or earnings last quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012, though the sell-side is bullish for the next year and a half. Their forecasts show EPS rising to the point where the forward P/E is only 10, not particularly out of the ordinary for a hospital, but certainly cheap on an absolute basis. Viking Global, managed by billionaire and fellow Tiger Cub Andreas Halvorsen, was also buying Community Health during Q1 (find Halvorsen's favorite stocks).
Ainslie cut his stake in $4.5 billion market cap homebuilder NVR (NYSE: NVR) by about 50% but still had over 100,000 shares in his portfolio at the beginning of April. A strong housing market helped power revenue up 28% in NVR's most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, and net income increased 74%. Markets have already priced in some amount of growth, as shown by the fact that the stock trades at 24 times trailing earnings, though we'd be interested in following NVR to see if its high growth continued in Q2.
According to the 13F, Maverick owned 2.1 million shares of Qlik Technologies (NASDAQ: QLIK) at the end of the first quarter of 2013. The enterprise software company saw a loss last quarter, in terms of adjusted earnings, and net income has been quite low on a trailing basis compared to Qlik's valuation. Analysts predict that earnings per share will increase both this year and next year, but the stock still looks expensive according to their forecasts at a forward earnings multiple of 45. As a result, we would avoid the stock.
MGIC also seems a bit speculative to us, but Ainslie's other three picks seem to at least be worthy of placing on a watchlist. Skyworks, NVR, and Community Health are all dependent on future growth given where they currently trade, but analysts seem optimistic enough on Skyworks that we suppose the company is worth checking out -- there is certainly enough room for the company to underperform expectations and still prove undervalued. Community Health also seems within striking range of being a value play, although we suppose the same is true for some of its peers.

Consider the following - the first time Warden was "exposed", it was done so by the guy that wrote Wowglider, the very program Warden is designed to detect and stop. And yet, all the IT "journalists" out there couldn't even do the most basic homework to find out if the guy had a stake in Warden being exposed or not. Seems the same people haven't learned anything at all.

Baton Rouge, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - Charles Mann registered a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the LSU Tigers 69-61 in a SEC tilt at the Maravich Center.
Kenny Gaines scored 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting for the Bulldogs (18-12, 12-6 SEC), who have won three of their last four games.
Andre Stringer finished with 22 points and Jarell Martin added 13 for the Tigers (18-12, 9-9), who have lost two of their last three contests. Jordan Mickey and Johnny O'Bryant III each had eight boards.
Georgia shot 52.4 percent from the field in the first period, including 5-of-5 from 3-point range, as it led 30-28 at the intermission. LSU made just 35.7 percent of its field goal attempts, including 3-of-14 from beyond the arc.
The Bulldogs connected on 44.4 percent of its shots from the floor in the second half. Early in the frame Georgia went on a 15-4 run to extend its lead to 12 points. The visitors cruised for the rest of the period as the Tigers were unable to apply much pressure.
Georgia did a better job on the glass as it outrebounded LSU 37-29.

Are you ready to catch up with Crowley (Mark Sheppard)? That's what's coming up in "Supernatural's" "Blade Runners," for which the CW released promotional photos on Thursday, March 6.
In this "SPN" episode, Dean (Jensen Ackles) is frustrated when Crowley, who's supposed to be finding The First Blade, is unreachable, and when he finally calls the brothers, he reveals he fell off the wagon, has been injecting human blood and needs their help. So they need to hold an intervention while dealing with everything else they have going on? Great. Check out the promo for a further look at that.
But wait, it gets worse. He had a demon (Rebecca Marshall) helping him get blood, and she sold him out and told Abaddon (Alaina Huffman) what they're doing. That means they have to find the Blade before Abaddon and they turn to a former member of the Men of Letters (Kavan Smith) for help.
The "Blade Runners" photos in the slideshow offer a look at Sam looking at a box of files from the Impala's trunk and guest star Smith as Magnus. While it looks like Magnus threatens Sam, Sam seems to get the upper hand. Plus, pay attention to Dean in these photos. Also, you can get a look at guest star Snooki.
"Supernatural" season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS. "Blade Runners" airs March 18. What do you think of these episode 16 photos?

This is the perfect gift for spending quality time
with the family! Work together to build your kit, plan the launch, and track
your payload down! We've spent countless hours on launches with our families
building, launching, and retrieving kits, and it's always a satisfying
experience. It's also a great way to get kids interested in science and
engineering. With a price like this, it's the gift that keeps bringing families
together, at least than half the cost of comparable kits online.
Everything you need to get started with your
own launch, minus a camera and helium. This kit is designed to be lightweight
yet rigid enough to mount experiments inside or outside. The launch box is
designed to be modular, you can add extra poles for multiple viewing platforms
or other experiments. The foam inside the box is pre-scored, you just pull out
what you don't need to fit your electronics. You simply can't find a more
complete and inexpensive launch kit. Best of all, you save BIG when you
buy the package, plus you get complete documentation and technical support!
*Note: Kit no longer includes the Contour
ROAM camera, as the company is out of business.
Need A Flight
Computer?We also updated our Ready-to-fly Data Logger to be
lighter, smaller, and use a micro SD card! Add one to your kit today to
record atmospheric conditions and your flight path without any programming or
soldering experience! Just put the sensors where you want, plug in a
battery and micro SD card, and your flight data is saved onboard. Check
out the Sky-Probe Data
Logger in more detail to see the full capabilities.
Sky-Probe Kit
Benefits:-The most inexpensive
complete kit on the market-Customizable to
your needs, add your own electronics or ours!-Multiple mounting points for experiments, inside our
outside-FAA compliant, takes the worry away
-Reusable, withstands multiple launches
-Technical support provided, along with
complete instructions -Sky-Probe can cut a viewing
hole in the enclosure for the camera
We've included everything
you'll need for your launch: -Your choice of
600/800/1200g Professional Weather Balloon -5ft High Altitude
Parachute -SPOT
Tracker* (US Customers Only)-Sky
Probe Enclosure -Sky Probe Radar
Reflector -Sky
Probe Support Arms with Mounting Hardware -Fill tube
and fitting for Helium OR Hydrogen tank-Cord and Misc Hardware to Connect Everything -FAA Balloon Regulatons -Launch Checklist -Build and
Launch Instructions -Technical Support - We're here for
Level:Easy to Moderate. Once
everything is setup, you just follow the checklist. The most difficult
part is finding an FAA tower that knows
about weather balloons. Your recovery can be difficult if it lands in a tree or
the mountains. If you just want to recover some awesome video, everything
is easy! The moderate difficulty is adding electronic sensors and programming
them. Don't worry, there are tutorials for each sensor we sell, along
with a list of everything you'll need. Or, you can purchase our Sky-Probe Data logger and it's
ready to fly. We're here if you need help!
A Few Items You'll
Need (Ok, we include almost everything): -Phillips Screwdriver-Adjustable
Wrench or Pliers -Camera
(GoPro, Contour, etc if you want video)-Large Tarp for the Balloon -Knife to Cut Cord -Helium or

For those new to earthbag building, please read my Step-by-Step Earthbag Building Instructable . Also, my new Earthbag Building Guide and Earthbag Building DVD are now available.
Energy performance on most buildings can be improved with insulation, including those made of earth such as adobe and earthbag structures. Although most earthen structures are located in hot, dry climates, there is increasing demand for low-cost, eco-friendly earth building techniques in cold climates. This article explores four innovative methods for insulating earthbag buildings, which extends their building range to cold regions.
Most earthbag buildings use polypropylene grain bags or mesh bags filled with soil. Bags or tubes can be used. We demonstrate bags, because they're often available recycled for very low cost. The bags or tubes are filled in level courses and then tamped solid. There are typically two strands of barbed wire between courses to bond the bags to each other and add tensile strength. The building process for insulated earthbag houses is nearly the same, although the materials would weigh significantly less and speed construction considerably.
Unlike other earth building methods, earthbag building has the unique advantage of providing either thermal mass or insulation, and therefore can be adapted for cold climates with an insulated fill material. Scoria, pumice, perlite, vermiculite or rice hulls are all suitable insulating materials. These materials are natural, lightweight, easy to work with and non-toxic. Most (all but rice hulls) will not burn or rot and do not attract insects or vermin. In addition, all but rice hulls are not adversely affected by moisture and can be used as part of earth-bermed or earth-sheltered structures. Recycled polystyrene (Styrofoam) is another good possibility. Another possibility is adding foam board or foam insulation on the exterior of earthbag walls, as explained in the 4th option.
The table below compares the approximate R-values of five low cost insulating materials that could be used in earthbags. (The first column in the table is the insulative value per inch; the second column shows the R-value for a typical 15" thick earthbag wall.)
Material -- R-value/inch -- R-value/15"
Rice hulls -- R-3 -- R-45
Perlite -- R-2.7 -- R-40
Vermiculite -- R-2.13 -- R-32 to 36
Extruded polystyrene -- R-3.6 to R-4.7 -- R-54 to R-70
Molded polystyrene (low density) -- R-3.85 – R-58
(Source: Wikipedia Encyclopedia.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)
Tools and supplies:
Shovel, bucket, garden hose, tamper, slider, gravel, soil and/or insulation, earthbags (poly sand bags), barbed wire, wire cutters, level
The following pages discuss four low cost methods of building insulated earthbag houses.
For more information, my You Tube Channel has dozens of short videos showing every step of earthbag building. And our Earthbag Building Blog , the number one blog on the subject, covers every aspect of building with bags in detail.
I have checked out both of the links you provided and both were extremely helpful too. I've been on the lookout for easier ways to building earthbag houses. I think your suggestions will work perfectly. They seem a lot easier compared to the ones I've read about before.
Tiptop Insulation
Does it make sense to think about thermal mass/insulation/thermal mass assemblies, or is that unnecessarily complicated?
Add rigid foam insulation on the exterior and then cover with plaster.
Common subsoil is most commonly used. The clay helps bind the sand into solid walls. Island are typically all sand. Mix in some clay if you can find it. Otherwise you'll probably have to add some cement or lime as a stabilizer.
How is sand for a filler? As insulation? I'm guessing it's not very flammable, which is great, but would you recommend it or mixing it with something?
Be sure to read my instructable on How to Build Dirt Cheap Houses.
It describes how you can save thousands of dollars on every step of construction. But like you know, this is only possible if you live where there aren't any codes. Plus, you'll be more free to grow your own food, raise chickens, dig your own well for self sufficiency, etc.
And yes, building in building code areas is much more difficult as you can imagine. It can be done, but it's a lot more time, money and effort.
Everything you need is free on our various websites -- YouTube, EarthbagBuilding.com, Instructables, Earthbag Building Blog. Just google it. Every topic such as how to install electrical is shown in detail.
No problem running pipes through the wall for a wood furnace.
If you do go with earthbags in NY or other cold climate, you'll need to add insulation. Here's one of many free articles that will help you: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-an-Insulated-Earthbag-House/
Our blog talks about how to use buttresses to join new earthbag walls in the future. This and all topics are covered in detail in 1,100+ blog posts. Use the built-in search engine or buy my Earthbag Building Guide book that summarizes all the most important info. http://www.earthbagbuilding.com/articles/ebbuildingguide.htm
Joining cordwood and earthbags is easy if you make the cordwood the same length as earthbags (about 18").
My husband and I just got your book and are very excited about building.
We are planning to build in northern Minnesota and are wondering if anyone knows of an earth bag home in this state. I know of a straw bale home but not an earth bag. Would the building codes for earth bag be the same as straw bale, or comparable?
Also we plan on a 50/50 mix of volcanic rock to native earth. Do you think that would be a good insulation? Should we insulate the exterior as well? We also want to build a basement either under half or the whole structure, is that a good idea? Can it be done?
Thank you for your help with our questions. G-d bless you for your knowledge and consideration, CarolAnn
I will let my husband know and continue on with the resurch. I will keep you psted as we move forward. Go-d bless, CarolAnn
I would use broken rubble in a rubble trench and then fill lower bags with crushed gravel up to about window sill height.
So yes, this can work in Canada with a moisture barrier to protect it.

Scrapbook Party Project
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
Using a variety of colors and themes, you can easily adapt it to any child's party. For groups of young children, you'll want to do all of the cutting and hole punching in advance; older children will be able to handle the project from start to finish. A Polaroid camera allows children to take their own pictures, providing them with a fun reminder of the party that they can take home.
- 8 1/2-by-11-inch pink card stock, 1 sheet per book
- 8 1/2-by-11-inch paper in assorted pink shades, about 5 sheets per book
- Scalloped paper edgers
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Hole punch, single- or three-hole
- Fiskars scalloped paper edger
- Seam binding, assorted colors
- Polaroid camera and film
- Assorted stickers
- Assorted art supplies (markers, crayons, rubber stamps, ink pads, decorative punches)
Step 1
To make the front and back covers of the book, cut card stock in half, using the Fiskars paper cutter or scissors, making 2 pieces measuring 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches. Trim edges with scalloped paper edger.
Step 2
To make the scrapbook pages, cut 5 sheets of paper in half the same way, but trim them down to 5-inches-by-7-inches so that they are a bit smaller than the covers. Scallop the edges of these as well.
Step 3
To create the binding, make a dot 1 inch from each end on one side of the cover and one at the center point. Line up front and back covers and punch over the dots through both layers, using a hole punch. Center the sheets of scrapbook paper beneath the cover and align them flush left. Mark dots through the punched holes of the covers. Punch holes through paper, several sheets at a time. Cut three 12-inch strips of seam binding for each book, and thread each piece through the holes of all the sheets of paper and both covers. Tie seam binding into bows, and trim the ends diagonally, to prevent fraying.
Step 4
Allow guests to take Polaroid pictures of themselves and each other, and then place a picture on each cover using 4 stickers as photo corners. The children can make their own stickers by coloring a sheet of labels with markers and punching out various shapes using a decorative punch, or they can also use pre-made stickers from a party store. Provide the children with an assortment of art supplies to decorate the books.

Don't Hurt Anyone, Joe!
March 21, 2010 / Posted by: Michael K
We all know that Joe Jonas' strut is a dangerous weapon that should be used with caution. When Joe's foot hits the streets, bitches hit the pavement. So I wonder how many gallons of soda came flying out of mouths and how many pairs of keys dropped when Joe Jonas stomped through Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood yesterday. Joe probably didn't even notice a thing, because he was too busy singing "My smoothie brings all the hos to the yard" in his head.
Here's more of Joe Jonas and his trainer enjoying a cold beverage after working out at Muscle Beach. That is probably the gayest thing I've ever written (this minute).

The world's largest search engines have been accused of not doing enough to protect the privacy of users.
According to a report by the Financial Times, technology firms Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have all come in for criticism and been accused of breaking EU data rules.
A group made up of representatives from the 27 member states is concerned about what is being done with data collected by search engines that relates to people's online habits. The main issues concern the length of time data is being stored, how easily it can be traced back to individuals and the possibilities of it being misused.
The privacy group said in a statement: "A user's search history contains a footprint of users' interests and personal relations. This information can be misused in many ways."
In a letter to the search firms, the group said all three continue to be in breach of EU data protection rules as a result of their methods of making users' search data anonymous.
The group wants Google to reduce storage time from nine to six months. The FT said in response, Google had stressed it "was the first search engine to reduce the time it stores search logs, and the first to anonymise them".
Although Yahoo and Microsoft have said they're making moves to comply with the six month deadline, they have been criticised for failing to allow external inspectors to verify claims.
The paper said Microsoft was not available for comment, while Yahoo declined.

The Action
Send this letter to The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health asking to take toxic ingredients out of body care products
The Letter
To: The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health
cc: Proctor & Gamble, LOréal Paris Canada, Hellen of Troy, Colgate-Palmolive, Coty Inc.
We are surprised that harmful substances are allowed in grooming products that we use every day like shaving cream and soap. That's why we're asking Health Canada to update the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist and that full ingredient disclosure in Canada be made mandatory, before products land on store shelves, to protect consumers. To help us make healthier purchasing decisions we ask that you:
In modernizing the Cosmetics Regulations, which includes all personal care products like shampoo and soap, please ban the worst ingredients (with clear legal authority) and ensure that you, and we, are told everything that is in grooming products and cosmetics before they hit the market, so we can make healthy choices.

He grabbed my hips, grinding onto me hard, rubbing his ridiculous erection on my ass. And just like that, I wanted him. The inside of my thighs began to dampen to extents of those immeasurable.
The base was exciting me and i bit down on my bottom lip turning to him. "Hey, um. What's your name again?"
"Don't worry about that. Look, we should head over to my place," He yelled over the track. I nodded my head and grabbed his hand.
A smirk took over his face as he dapped up his friends, while leading the way to his car.
I snatched open the passenger door and climbed in as he swag walked to the driver's seat. I roll my eyes, watching him and rubbing my legs together to ease some pressure.
He slides into the car, licking his lips, putting the keys in the ignition.
"Nah," I say. "Fuck me here and now."
I came at him straight forward and I could tell he loved it. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a rubber. In the meantime, I fondled my breasts, pulling my dress down to do so.
"Nuh uhn, I need more space than this.. I plan on putting in work tonight."
And with that he took off. Speeding down the empty streets of New York, he pulled into his driveway rather fast.
"Getcho ass out," He said, cutting off his car. I got out and walked up to the door, waiting for him. He was by my side in an instant, unlocking the door to his home.
I looked at him as he looked at me and we attacked each other, kissing sloppily, with no fucks given… Except the fucking that was about to take place.
He picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. He added tongue and so did I.
We were bumping into things on our way up the stairs, leaving a mess behind us ; paintings, picture frames, anything you could think of. All of it was on the floor.
When he finally made it to our room, he dropped me onto the bed. He unbuttoned his jeans, pulling those along with his boxers, to the floor around his ankles. He pulled my dress over my head and threw it across the room.
He crashed his body down over mine and kissed me hard, forgetting about his shirt. But I didn't. I wanted to see all his skin.
I moved my hands up to his chest and grip the collar, ripping it down the middle, pulling it off of his arms. He smirked again and laid me on my side.
"Pull your knees to your chest." He demanded. And I did.
He rubbed the head on my now poking kitty. I groaned a little and watched as he slid in, biting down on my bottom lip.
"Shit," He hissed, grinding and thrusting. He started speeding up within seconds and my ass wasn't prepared.
"Awww yes, Chres!" I moaned closing my eyes.
He slapped my ass, gripping it as that dark look took over his features. I knew then that I was in for a long night.
Role play always brings out my spiffy demon ;)

Twelfth Night is a very traditional comedy. Aristotle defined comedy as having common elements, such as
Main character is a woman (In Twelfth Night, this is Viola.)
Impediments exist to attaining true love
Characters are taught to laugh at their foibles
A strong sense of community prevails
Play ends with marriage and the hope of babies (continuation of community)
Theme: Caprice -- a frivolous, whimsical attitude toward life and toward love. In a very real and pervasive sense, Twelfth Night is a satire on love, at least of Petrarchan love. Petrarch in his poetry created a distance, an unworthiness, between the loved one and the lover. The female is idealized and the male should be content to worship her from afar. The man places the woman on a pedestal – an unequal relationship is implied. This makes the last characteristic of comedy, i.e. procreation, impossible. A Petrarchan lover must be taught a more reasonable, more practical attitude toward love. This is a major theme in Twelfth Night.
Disguise has been an element in western comic theatre since ancient Greece and it continues full throttle even today. Cross-dressing takes this comic element up another significant notch. Remind students that there were no female actors in Shakespeare's day. This compounded the humor for the Elizabethan audience. Their 'disbelief was willingly suspended' to believe that a male actor was portraying female characters such as Olivia, Maria, and Viola. Imagine the continually humorous component when a man pretends to be a woman (Viola) who then pretends to be a man (Cesario).
CLASS ACTIVITY: Defining Key Terms
1. Distribute dictionaries to selected class members; perhaps 10 dictionaries can be placed at random seats before the class begins. Each dictionary has a slip of paper with a word on it. The students with dictionaries should look up the following words:
1. epiphany
2. valentine
3. curio
4. belch
5. ague
6. mal (prefix)
7. fest/festival (as in "Feste")
8. motley
9. Viola
2. Begin the class with a definition of "12th Night" (see below).
Background extraneous to the play, but pertinent to the theme.
"Twelfth Night" is a common, pedestrian name for a period in the Church calendar called Epiphany (have a student with a dictionary read both definitions of the word "epiphany"). This is the time when the Magi (a.k.a. Wise Men) brought gifts of tribute to the Holy Family after the birth of baby Jesus. In many countries, Christmas is a "High Holy Day," commemorated with church attendance, reverence, reflection, restraint, and, above all, seriousness. Epiphany, or Twelfth Night (traditionally celebrated on January 6th), is the day designated for parties and festivities. So, one might expect Twelfth Night to be a Christmas play, to have stories or themes relevant to the birth of Jesus – but it doesn't. Twelfth Night, the play, was actually written for a party that occurred at one of the Inns of Court in 1602, an Epiphany celebration that was apparently absolutely secular and even quite bawdy. This was a time of masques, revels, defiance of authority, and general foolishness. Basically, the title of the play, Twelfth Night, has nothing to do with the content.
That brings us to the alternate title: What You Will. The alternate title evinces an even more flippant, carefree, attitude toward the content of the play: What You Will or "Call this Play Anything You Want, It Just Doesn't Matter," even "Whatever!" What the alternate title indicates is that Shakespeare takes nothing seriously in this play even before the action begins, nor should we – the audience and/or reader. From the maudlin song that starts the play even before the action begins, to the final, ostensibly frivolous song that ends the play, it is all for fun.
Shakespeare actually wrote a play quite similar to Twelfth Night (or What You Will) approximately two years earlier, entitled As You Like It. The title again is irrelevant. This is another madcap comedy written just 'as you like it.' It also contains a savvy woman, a quipping jester, and the potential for tragedy presented in a fanciful manner.
Illyria is an actual geographic region on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, currently part of northern Albania. Just as the title, Twelfth Night, has nothing to do with the content of the play, there is absolutely nothing particularly Albanian about this play either. Shakespeare probably chose the setting because Illyria has a more temperate climate and because it is a setting quite "remote and exotic and therefore suitable to a tale of disguise, intrigue, and romance" (Boyce 308).
When Viola is washed ashore, she states that although she has landed in Illyria, her brother is possibly in Elysium. Elysium in Greek and Roman mythology (also known as the Elysian Fields or the Islands of the Blessed) was the place for the afterlife of virtuous souls. The souls there enjoyed sunshine, flowers, dancing, music, and perpetual joy. Illyria, on the surface, may seem a very similar place; for the privileged classes like Olivia and Orsino, it might be a veritable paradise. Yet later in the play, Antonio states that " these parts, which to a stranger, unguided and unfriended, often prove rough and unhospitable" (III, 3, 9-11). Perhaps Antonio is "reflecting on the unsavory reputation of the Illyrian coast, which was a notorious den of piracy until the 17th century. There are references to Illyrian pirates elsewhere in Shakespeare (2 Henry VI, IV, 1, 107; Measure for Measure IV, 3, 70) and in other Elizabethan literature (Boyce 308). This potential for great peril in Illyria certainly explains why Viola finds it is necessary to disguise herself immediately.

For 30 minutes Thursday night, Earl Watson sat in front of his locker, slumped over, with his back to a roomful of teammates and media.
Watson had just played well — again — during Dallas' 94-91 victory over the Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.
But he wasn't happy.
Far from it.
"We had a good opportunity to go from a good team to a great team and we let it slip away," he said. "Give them credit. They beat us. But at the same time we still had a chance to win. It's tough."
Watson finished with five points, two rebounds and seven assists. The other nine Jazz players combined for nine assists.
Still, Watson was as gloomy as a Salt Lake Valley inversion after the Mavericks snapped an 87-87 tie in the final 2:26.
"I'm not into moral victories, man," he said. "I'm into wins and losses. I don't care about stats. I don't care about anything but winning and losing. You couldn't pay me enough money to be happy to lose. So it doesn't mean anything."
Watson's performance against the Mavs stood out even more because starting point guard Devin Harris struggled.
Harris scored one point in 24 minutes. He was 0-for-7 from the field.
With 3:04 left in the game, however, coach Tyrone Corbin put Harris back into the game for Watson, who had played the entire fourth quarter.
"I thought Earl had been in there quite a while," Corbin said, "so I thought we'd give him a breather. He might have been OK, but we decided to stick with our regular rotation — our somewhat regular rotation."
Corbin praised Watson: "He gave us everything. You have to love his fight."
With 56 seconds left in the third quarter, Watson was at the center of the game's most controversial sequence.
First, Utah's Derrick Favors was called for an offensive foul.
As he was holding the ball, Dirk Nowitzki slapped it out of his hand.
Watson intervened, approached Nowitzki and slapped the ball out of his hands.
Watson was called for a technical foul.
"I saw him smack the ball out of Favors' hands," he said, "so I did the same thing. But I guess, it's the second one that counts. Maybe next time I'll be first."

FOSS Around the World: Latin America
Too often coverage of free/open source software news and commentary tends to focus on either developments and activities in North America or in Europe. While much of the news is made on these two continents, there's a wider world out there where folks are doing some substantial things, and promoting FOSS in their own way in their own areas. Periodically, we at FOSS Force will be looking at areas of the world which have been either overlooked or neglected in digital news coverage.

OpenMediaVault 1.0 review
OpenMediaVault is a NAS/SAN Linux distribution that I first wrote about on this site back in January 2013. That was when the version 0.4.11 was released. The latest version, a milestone release, is OpenMediaVault 1.0. It is based on Debian 7 and uses that distribution's ncurses installer, just like Ubuntu server. This is a distribution you want to use if you are looking for an easy-to-use and feature-rich solution to set up a NAS for yourself. The browser-based management interface on this latest edition is a lot better than the one that shipped with previous editions. And it is also responsive.

EDM is a term that has recently taken over North America.
It's a term generally used to describe music that doesn't involve instruments, but to progressive house producer and DJ Nicky Romero, he had no idea what the term meant.
"EDM is made up here in America. Like, if you say that in Europe people will laugh at you," said Romero in an interview with The Desert Sun.

Human bones were found sealed in a drum on vacant property in Hendricks County Monday morning.
A man who recently purchased the property in Brownsburg about a month ago was clearing it off Monday when he found the skeletal remains inside the drum.
Police said the remains appear to be male based on the clothing found with the bones.
Officials said this case did not match any open missing person's case in Hendricks County and that the remains have probably been there for years.
